After waiting for two minutes, according to Tian Sanjiu's instructions, I first had someone search the yard all over, but no other strange things were found.
Then we started to visit the nearby neighbors, maybe the self-harming snake was hiding in one of the houses.
Bang bang bang!
"Who!"
Bang bang bang!
"Open the door!"
"You...who are you looking for..."
The person who opened the door was a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old, probably just in high school. He was a little scared when he saw so many people suddenly standing in front of his house, all wearing masks and hats and holding steel pipes in their hands.
"Boy, let me ask you, who has been living in this old house next to your house these two days?"
"No...no, that house has been abandoned for more than ten years and no one lives in it."
"Get out of the way, let's go in and take a look." As he spoke, he opened the door and rushed in.
The curtains are drawn in his house, the TV is on, and the DVD player is playing the old Hong Kong ghost movie, The Devil's Fetus.
"Boy, aren't you scared? You're watching this kind of movie alone without turning on the lights in the house. Where are the other people in your family?" my man asked.
The high school student shook his head and said: "They are working in other places. The school is on holiday these two days, and I live at home alone."
At this moment.
The ghost movie on the DVD player happened to be showing the part where the protagonist is possessed by a ghost, digs out a dead dog from the soil, and eats the dead dog.
One of the people following me turned off the TV, pointed at the person, and said, "I haven't learned well at a young age. I just watch this disgusting thing. I wonder if I'm going to peek at the yellow paper while my parents are not at home."
"No, no, I don't."
"Hey, look at how cowardly you are. When I was your age, I was already in jail."
"It's nothing, let's go home."
"Wait..." I said wait a moment.
"how?"
Several people turned to look at me, probably thinking I had discovered something wrong.
They didn't notice, I did.
I really made a discovery.
There is a wardrobe to the west of the TV cabinet where the DVD player is placed. The two doors of the wardrobe were not completely closed tightly, leaving a gap exposed. I could vaguely see a corner of the clothes stuck outside.
At this time, several other people also saw it.
Turning on the light, they looked at each other, separated left and right, held the steel pipe in their hands, and walked slowly over.
Swing open the closet door!
One person is holding a steel pipe and is ready to say hello.
"Don't!"
"do not hit me!"
"Is it you? Why are you running here?"
I was stunned. There was a girl hidden in the closet. I didn’t know her name. She was Xiao Tang’s classmate. She had even called me a street kid before.
Seeing the frightened look on her face, I knew she didn't recognize me.
This was just right, I immediately lifted the mask up.
I looked at the man and then at the girl hiding in the cupboard, and I said, "Are you two hiding in the house, watching a movie?"
The girl came out of the closet, lowered her head and said, "I...I'm going back."
"etc."
I grabbed her, pulled her back, looked into her eyes and asked, "Institute 331?"
Her expression was dazed, and she looked like she didn't know what she meant.
I frowned again and asked, "If I remember correctly, your home should be not far from here. Do you know who owns that old house to the west of the door?"
"old house?"
The girl was still wearing her school uniform. She tightened her clothes and said, "I heard my dad say that that dilapidated house is Lao Zhou's ancestral home. No one has lived in it for many years."
My heart tightened and I asked who this old Zhou was.
The girl told me that Lao Zhou lived in the big mopan behind the village brigade and was known to everyone in the village. Last year, he and Tang Gui partnered up to sell village taro, and later lost money. Many people from other villages came to see him with debts.
.
"So, that house belongs to this old Zhou, and he has the key to the old house."
She nodded.
I waved my hand and said that you should go home quickly and stay locked in the room with your male classmates in the middle of the night watching ghost movies. You will regret it when the time comes.
"Walk."
I led the people to the village brigade. As soon as I walked to the millstone the girl was talking about, I saw a dark figure leaning on the millstone and smoking a cigarette from a distance.
Seemingly hearing footsteps, the man looked back, threw away his cigarette and ran away!
