I didn't stop him, and I didn't know how to start. Anyway, everything happened too fast, my mind was crackling like firecrackers, and I had lost the ability to speak. I heard the sound of Bai Yi closing the door, and I knew he had left. Liuzi was still sleeping soundly, he didn't feel anything, but fortunately he was sleeping like a dead cow, otherwise I would be laughed at in the future after seeing me like this. I fell on the pillow weakly, at this time I still had the pendant that Bai Yi gave me during the day hanging around my neck. Could it be that this house is really haunted like the old lady said? Is the woman in the window the so-called concubine? Looking back, if Bai Yi hadn't woken up in the middle, I wouldn't have been able to resist. Immediately, I slapped myself a few times and cursed myself in a low voice for being useless.
It was raining heavily outside. The only sound around was Liuzi's snoring. The old house was very humid, and the musty smell rushed into my nose. Just when my mind was exploding and my face was as red as braised pork, there was a sudden knock on the door, which woke up Liuzi who was sleeping soundly. I immediately put away my messy clothes, put on my coat and went to open the door. I found that it was Yueling standing at our door in a thin nightgown. There was a lot of rain and soil on her hair. I immediately pulled her into the house. Liuzi was almost stunned when he saw Yueling like this. I immediately slapped him to wake him up, and asked, "Sister Yueling, it's so late, what's wrong with you?"
Yue Ling frowned and said, "Xiao Yan is missing. She actually left on her own!"
Xiaoyan's name is Zhu Yan, she is a very beautiful girl. Even among these seven girls, she is considered to be the most outstanding one in appearance. But the girl is very timid and introverted, very shy, and speaks in a low voice. Even Liuzi has no chance to talk to her.
Liuzi and I looked at each other, and Liuzi smiled and said, "Sister, do you think it was the girl who ran out to the toilet?"
Yue Ling shook her head and said, "No, that's not the case. She was wearing a red dress, even her shoes were bright red, and then she just walked out like that!"
My already chaotic brain was almost in a state of dementia after being messed up by this. And the red clothes again. Shit, is red retro popular among girls this spring? I looked at her stupidly and said, "Did you run out to practice your scenes alone?"
Yueling was trembling a little, I immediately took off my coat and put it on her. Liuzi was so careful that he immediately hummed when he saw the red mark on my neck. I buttoned my collar and stared at him in embarrassment. I asked viciously in a low voice: "What are you looking at!" Bai Yueling grabbed her clothes and said a little out of tune: "It's too new. Xiaoyan doesn't live in the same room with me. I went to the bathroom at night and found her walking in the yard in a red dress. I thought she was rehearsing. I called her twice, and her eyes changed when she looked back at me, as if she was… a vixen… So I wanted to chase her, but I found that she simply walked out of the backyard. It was raining heavily on the surface. I wanted to chase her, but suddenly… someone pushed me hard from behind, and I fell to the ground. When I looked up again, Xiaoyan was gone!"
Liuzi touched his neck and said with a sigh: "This kind of thing is not within our professional scope. You have to ask your nephew. By the way, where is Bai Yi? Is he still sleeping?" After saying that, he looked at me with ill intent.
When I heard Bai Yi mentioned, my scalp tightened. I looked at them awkwardly and said, "He went out… to the bathroom. Oh, why don't we go check if the girl is still in the room? Don't let her sleepwalk. It's time to go back to bed and have a good sleep."
So the three of us walked along the eaves without umbrellas to the room of Xiaoyan. We knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. Wasn't the other girl even there? We were really getting anxious. Bai Yueling wanted to call the police, but I held her back and said, "Sister Yueling, the police won't accept it if you call them now. After all, she is not a person without self-control. She won't come in less than 24 hours. I think we should go look for her and ask her one by one. Maybe the little girl ran to another girl's room and went crazy."
Bai Yueling nodded. I asked Liuzi to follow Bai Yueling and ask them one by one, and then I went to the hall to look for her. A girl couldn't run far in such a heavy rain, but there was one thing I was very concerned about. This room was definitely not clean, and who was pushing Yueling from behind? I frowned. I didn't have a flashlight in my hand, so I took out my cell phone from my pajamas pocket, but I found that this kind of light was worse than no light. Everything around me felt a little green and very cold.
The hall was so quiet that not even the sound of mice could be heard. As I searched, I whispered Xiaoyan's name. I was a little scared and my voice was trembling. I kept shouting for a few times but there was no response. I simply shut up and groped around. I turned around for a few times but there was no sign of anyone. So I started to look for other places. Just as I was walking past the beams of the hall, something fell from the roof. I didn't have time to avoid it, so I instinctively caught it with my hands. When I took it in my hand, I found it was soft. I took a photo with my phone and found that it was a bunch of human hair. I was so scared that I threw it on the ground immediately. I recalled that the girl named Xiaoyan did have a long braid. I immediately lay on the ground to look for the hair, but after touching it for a long time, there was nothing but dust. Did the hair I threw away just disappear like that? Just as I was kneeling on the ground, feeling the floor like a blind man, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a pair of women’s feet in front of the armchair where the host sat in the hall. They were wearing a pair of red cloth shoes, and the edge of the red silk pleated skirt was draped over their feet… so dazzlingly red…
I was sweating coldly. I lowered my head and dared not look up or move. The descendant in the red skirt, who was not sure whether it was a human or a ghost, was also silent and motionless. The stalemate lasted for a long time. Suddenly, a soprano voice rang out in the backyard. I recognized it was the girl who was listening to the story in the car. When I came to my senses and looked at the armchair again, the figure in the red shoes and red skirt was gone. I cursed in my heart: Damn! What kind of a hell is this place? I couldn't find my hair, and I was anxious for the group of girls, so I got up and rushed to the backyard.
I pushed open the girl's door and found that it was Xiaoyan's room again. This time the door was not locked. The girl immediately threw herself beside me when she saw me coming in. The girl was wearing a lace lingerie with suspenders. Her petite body was trembling in the translucent lingerie. I didn't know where to look for a while. The female students brought by Yue Ling were all beautiful. Her hair was tied up on one side in a mess. One hand trembled and pointed at the upper part of the window sill and said, "Ghost… There is a ghost!"
I immediately looked over and found nothing on the windowsill. I patted the girl and said, "There is no ghost. Did you see it wrong?"
The girl shook her head and didn't dare to look at the windowsill. She pointed at the windowsill and said tremblingly: "Yes, there is a ghost. A female ghost in black clothes, there is a ghost! She wants to strangle me to death."
I think this girl has been frightened to the point of insanity. If she says there is a ghost, shouldn't it be a female ghost in red? Why is it in black again this time? Is the female ghost performing a fashion show for us? Could it be that the person she saw was the one who took Xiaoyan away? At this time, Yueling and Liuzi heard the shouting and rushed in. When the girl saw Yueling coming, she immediately shook me off and ran straight to Yueling's side. I shook my hands and put them in my pockets with a bit of disappointment. Liuzi threw me his coat and said, "What happened?"
I shook my head and said, "This girl said she saw a ghost, and the person she lived with disappeared too."
Bai Yueling was also dumbfounded when she saw this scene. I put on my coat and said, "How about this, everyone gather together and don't leave. By the way, where is Sister Yueling's Zhang Po? Does she live here?"
Liuzi interrupted, "Don't mention it. I don't know what happened to that old woman. The door of her room was locked, and I felt that there was no one in the room."
I frowned after listening to them, and then told them what I saw in the hall. The girls were shaking all over after listening to me. I felt that there was no need to say anything more, so I gathered everyone in this room. At this time, everyone looked very anxious and scared. I didn't say too much, otherwise the more I said, the more scared everyone would be. When they panic to the extreme, they would probably rush out of control, which would be even more out of control. Besides, one person is already missing… At this moment, I suddenly thought of something, and the whole person seemed to be knocked unconscious by hundreds of ice cubes. I started shaking all over and grabbed Liuzi and said, "You… have you seen Bai Yi! Have you seen that kid!"
Liuzi came back to his senses at this moment, his face turned pale for a moment, he shook his head and said: "No… didn't you say Lao Bai went to the toilet? Why… didn't he come back?"
I hit my head a few times in frustration, but I couldn't tell them the truth. At this time, some of the girls had already started crying, saying that they had seen monsters, saying that there was a ghost sitting by the bed staring at them, and some even said that there was a shadow of a hanged person swaying on the beams of the house. Each of them had a look of fear and anxiety.
Yue Ling could only try to comfort them, but it was no use. Many girls burst into tears, and some even huddled together and cried loudly. This sound was very similar to the woman's crying that I heard in my ears on the bed before. After thinking it over for several times, I was already feeling uneasy. She turned to us and said, "It's horrible. Almost everyone said they saw ghosts and strange things, and some even had nightmares. What's going on? And what about Bai Yiren? Where did he go?"
When I heard about nightmares, I remembered that I had also had strange dreams, and then there were absurd things that happened between Bai Yi and me. Now I was completely bored, but there were only two men, Liuzi and I, at this time. We were going to be as scared as a group of girls. I thought for a moment, but it can't be called thinking, it can only be called dazed. I turned around and said to Bai Yueling: "Bai Yi went out by himself, and I can't explain why he hasn't come back yet. Let Liuzi stay and watch everyone, I… I will go look for them."
Bai Yueling immediately shook her head and said, "No, no, what if you can't come back? Otherwise, I'll go with you to look for you. I'm a teacher and Bai Yi's elder, I can't just ignore him."
I didn't want Bai Yueling to be in danger, but if I couldn't find them, I would be in even more trouble. I looked at Liuzi and said, "Liuzi, you take good care of these kids. Sister Yueling and I will go find those two. You have to make sure none of them are left behind. If you are brothers, promise me to take good care of them."
Liu Zi nodded seriously, which was rare. He took out the ancient jade from his side and said, "Take it. This thing is very good at warding off evil spirits. I promise that I will never let these girls get into trouble no matter what happens."
I shook my head and said, "You take him. This old house is full of weird things. You can't make any mistakes with so many girls watching over you. Let's search again. If we can't find him, we'll call the police. Anyway, no matter what it is, we can't leave any less people."
Bai Yueling nodded and said a few more words of comfort, then walked out of the room with me. It was still pouring rain outside, and it was pitch dark, so we could only grope our way forward. I didn't dare let Bai Yueling act alone, so the efficiency was very low. We simply walked out of the corridor and shouted in the yard, but there was no other echo except our own voices. I said to Bai Yueling beside me, "This is not a solution. We shouted like this and still couldn't hear it. Maybe it's not here. Let's go to the hall first. Then we'll search each room one by one. It's almost dawn, and we'll be able to tell then."
I waited for a few seconds, but Bai Yueling beside me ignored me. I turned my head and found that the person standing beside me was no longer Bai Yueling, but a woman wearing Qing Dynasty clothes. She was very beautiful, but her face was as white as paper, her eye sockets were very dark, and there was a deep mark on her neck. She was wearing a bright red jacket and robe, and she stood beside me. I screamed in fear, and before I could say anything, the woman approached me. How could I dare to stay there? I ran back.
I ran wildly and knocked open a door. I realized that this was my own house. I was soaked all over and my teeth were chattering. I rushed into the room immediately. The room was still the same as when we left. There was still some unfinished fried rice noodles on the table. After I calmed down, I remembered that even Bai Yueling was gone. Now I was fighting alone. I wanted to find someone, but the person I followed was also lost. I helplessly shook off the rain on my hair with my hands. I tried to calm myself down and then recalled how things could be like this. But the more I thought about it, the more confused my mind became. There was no trace at all.
I tapped my head. This matter seemed very strange from the beginning. There was no sign at all. Everyone seemed to be hysterical. Even Bai Yi became strange. It was wrong. This matter was not that simple. I swallowed several times and wanted to go back to Liuzi and the others first. Maybe Bai Yueling didn't find anyone and went back. Thinking of this, I walked out of the room and walked towards the house.
I walked through the corridor, paying attention to all the changes around me. There was nothing strange along the way. I quickly walked outside the house and knocked on the door to ask Liuzi to open it quickly. After knocking several times, no one answered. My tense nerves were on the verge of collapse. I didn't think about anything and simply hit the door with my shoulder. The old-fashioned wooden door was not stable at all. I fell into the house and fell to the ground. I almost hit my head and bled.
I lay on the ground, and didn't see Liuzi and the others. Then I realized that this was not the room they were staying in. But I was indeed walking in that direction, so where was this? I tried to stand up, but slipped to the ground before I could stand firmly. Because of the long time of searching in the darkness, my eyes have gradually become accustomed to the darkness pretending to be scary . Even without turning on the light, I can distinguish the possible outlines with the weak light. This room is indeed not the kind of guest room we live in. It feels a bit like a study or something. I tried to prop myself up and stand up. The dark room was full of things. Suddenly I bumped into something like a box. I immediately touched it and found that this was the side hall where we stored the prop boxes during the day. Did I run in the wrong direction? I simply stopped walking aimlessly. I squatted on the ground and forced myself to use my brain to think about this series of things.
Logically speaking, everything we encounter now is unreasonable, that is to say, we exist in a strange circle of contradiction. First of all, I thought about the situation after entering the house, and there was nothing strange. The only thing that was strange was the old lady in the black cheongsam, but she gave people a very gentle feeling, not like an evil ghost. Then, since she was a human, there were only two possibilities in this house. One was that there were other evil ghosts or something, and the other was that someone was pretending to be a ghost to scare people . However, to be able to pretend to be like this was also a kind of talent.
I had to put the suspicion on the old lady. If she really did it, why did she do it? What is the special meaning of the past legend she specifically revealed? The story is not complete, and it is even worse than the usual campus ghost stories. So we all have strange behaviors, such as my dreams, such as Lao Bai's abnormality. I know Bai Yi very well. He will never do such strange things. Otherwise, how can I be safe until now? Then this is another confusing place, and then everyone saw a ghost, and it was not just one. I don’t know what the missing people saw, but if according to Yue Ling, the girl named Xiaoyan walked out by herself, why did it happen? Bai Yi also left the room by himself. So from another perspective, I also left by myself. For most of them, I am now one of the missing persons.
At this time, I didn't feel scared at all. Instead, the more I thought about it, the calmer I became. If the assumption was correct, then those people were probably just isolated in a corner of the house like me. In this case, I might as well wait. I wouldn't leave. I would just sit here and wait for dawn. As long as the dawn came, all these tricks would be in vain.
I tried not to think, and finally just lay on the box and closed my eyes. My ears became more sensitive after closing my eyes. My grandmother once told me that the five senses of a person are similar, but the heart controls the five senses. Now I focus all my senses on hearing, and naturally I can hear much clearer sounds than in noisy environments. It was still raining heavily outside, but I gradually felt that there were other sounds in the rain, like a woman's sigh, and slight footsteps.
The sound was intermittent, but it lasted for a long time. My scalp wrinkled from listening to it, and it was still that unreal tone. Finally, I felt that the rain had stopped, and then the crowing of chickens broke the dead silence around me. I slowly opened my eyes, and the scenery around me became clear. Because I was wrapped in wet clothes all night, my whole body felt as heavy as hanging three bags of rice, and my throat hurt like fire. I coughed twice and slowly left this side hall. When I stood up, I could hardly stand steadily. I had to support myself against the wall and walked to the yard. I saw Bai Yueling lying in the corner of the yard, looking even more embarrassed than me. I immediately ran over and found that her forehead was also burning when I helped her up. I immediately pinched her philtrum. She slowly opened her eyes in pain, looked at me and shouted in horror: "There is a ghost! There is a ghost in this house!"
I pulled her up with great difficulty. When I heard the word "ghost" now, I was no longer terrified. Instead, I felt extremely regretful for pretending to be a ghost to scare people . I asked, "What's going on? You didn't lie on the ground all night, did you?"
She was completely unable to speak, and I thought she would faint again if we continued, so I had to carry her with the straps to where we were. When we entered the room, we found that everyone's eyes were red, and everyone came to help after seeing Yue Ling like this. Liuzi looked at me and said, "Damn, this is the most unusual night I've ever had. This room is definitely not clean. They have watched almost all the horror scenes seen in horror movies in the room. I feel like I'm locked up with a group of lunatics." After saying that, he lifted up his arm, and I found several red marks on it. Then he said with a lot of resentment, "These girls almost use me as a punching bag to vent their anger. They grab and beat me whenever they get something. Brother, if you don't come, I… will be beaten to death."
I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good job! When we go back, I will definitely ask those girls to sing a song for you one by one. If that doesn't work… I will sing a song of A True Hero for you!"
He looked at me fiercely, then touched his arm exaggeratedly. I patted him again. At this time, I was almost at my limit. Let alone singing, it was very difficult for me to hum a few words.
The sky was finally bright, and Bai Yueling had recovered a little. The first thing she asked was whether the people had been found. I counted the number of people, and the missing people were still not found. Fortunately, no one was missing. At this time, we really had to call the police. As soon as the girls saw the light of day, they wanted to escape one by one. I saw that they would really be schizophrenic if they went down. I patted Liuzi and said, "Now it seems that things are serious. You find a way to settle these girls and Sister Yueling. I will continue to look. If we still can't find them, we don't have to wait for 24 hours. Call the police now."
After that, I asked everyone to pack up quickly. Bai Yueling waved her hand and said, "Let Liuzi stay and help you. I can do it alone."
I said, "Auntie, please don't bother me. You and I have been looking for them before, and it ended up like this. Don't worry, there is no threat during the day. I still have to look for them again. I always feel that they are still in this house."
Bai Yueling thought for a moment, then immediately realized what she was talking about and said, "Oh, right, when we were looking for something in the yard, you suddenly went crazy and I couldn't stop you. You were yelling something. At that time, I felt there was a woman wearing red shoes behind you."
Damn, could it be that… I immediately asked, "And then?"
