The apartment building where Wu Jinpeng lives is very dilapidated. It was built at least thirty years ago.
Their family of three crowded into a small house of 20 square meters. The toilet was adjacent to the kitchen, and the room was separated by a curtain.
"It's a little crowded, don't mind. I was planning to move to a bigger house next month." As soon as Wu Jinpeng opened the door, a big yellow dog ran over wagging its tail. It was very loud to Wu Jinpeng and Wu
They were affectionate, but when they saw Chen Ge, they bared their teeth.
"Don't mind. Dahuang is a stray dog. He has been driven away by many people, so he is not so enthusiastic towards strangers. But after you get to know him, you will find that Dahuang is a very docile dog." Wu Jinpeng scratched the hair on the top of Dahuang's head.
, inviting Chen Ge into the house.
There are no tiles on the cement floor, and there are a lot of things piled up, but they are all tidied up in an orderly manner. Although it is crowded, it does not feel dirty.
"Xiao Kun, we have a guest, go and pour two cups of tea!" Wu Jinpeng shouted into the room. After a moment, the curtain was opened, and a young man who looked silly and silly was holding an electric fan from the cloth.
Go out from behind the curtain.
"fan!"
"I know, you go and serve the guests tea first, and I'll fix the fan." Wu Jinpeng wanted to take the fan from the young man's arms, but the young man hid aside and hugged the broken fan tightly.
"fan!"
"You brat, I'll buy you a new fan when your salary is paid." Wu Jinpeng looked at Chen Ge with some embarrassment: "This is my brother who had an accident when he was a child and suffered a head injury. You may think he is stubborn, but in fact he is very stubborn.
He is very smart. My brother's grades were very good in elementary school and he never fell out of the top ten in grade."
His son cannot speak and has a withdrawn personality. His younger brother suffered a head injury and is stupid and stupid. Life has made things difficult for Wu Jinpeng in every possible way, but Wu Jinpeng is still proud of his family.
Chen Ge admires people like this: "Brother Peng, I ordered some food and drinks on the way here. Let's eat and chat later. I have many questions to ask you."
"Look at what you're doing, I must be the one inviting you to my house!"
"I'm here to trouble you, and I have to pay for this meal."
The takeout was delivered quickly. In addition to the food, Chen Ge also ordered a few bottles of wine.
The family sat on a mat in the middle of the room. Although it was simple, it was extremely warm.
Wu Sheng and Wu Jinpeng's younger brother seemed to have never eaten so much food in a long time, and they devoured it hungrily.
Seeing them eating so happily, Wu Jinpeng's eyes softened a lot. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
"Brother Peng, is that photo on the cabinet a photo of your family?" Chen Ge pointed to the photo frame on the wardrobe. There was a photo of three people in it. The young Wu Jinpeng stood in the center, with his younger brother on the left and his brother on the right.
Is a pregnant woman.
"Well, that woman is Wu Sheng's mother. She left after giving birth to Wu Sheng. But she is really a very good woman. I blame me for not being able to keep her." Wu Jinpeng smiled and drank another glass of wine:
"Brother, I've spent a lot of money on you today. If you have anything you want to ask, feel free to ask. Brother, I know everything I can tell you. Is this how the idiom is used?"
"Brother Peng, you are so generous, so I won't hide it." Chen Ge had another drink with Wu Jinpeng, and he lowered his voice: "Actually, the child from my relative's family is different from ordinary children. He is a bit different.
Special symptoms, I have been holding these words in my heart for a long time, and I never knew what to say."
"Speak slowly, we are not in a hurry."
"You might not believe it even if I tell you." Chen Ge approached Wu Jinpeng and said, "One time I went to bed late and accidentally saw a door standing next to the child's bed."
While saying this, Chen Ge kept staring at Wu Jinpeng.
He could clearly see that Wu Jinpeng was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said.
"I was scared at the time. How could a door appear in the house for no reason?" Chen Ge frowned, as if he still felt scared thinking about it now: "I wanted to go over, but the child woke up before I could get close to him.
When he woke up, the door disappeared. At first I thought it was my imagination, but the next night the door appeared again!"
"Have you ever entered that door?" Wu Jinpeng's subconscious question made Chen Ge confirm once again that the other party definitely knew about the existence of the door.
Normally, when others hear such a weird thing, they will first question the authenticity. Even if they don't question it, the questions they ask should be related to the door, and they will not directly ask whether they have entered that door.
Wu Jinpeng asked this, which shows that he not only knows the existence of the door, but may even have entered that door.
The two men held the wine glasses and stared at each other for a long time. Chen Ge first drank a sip of wine to calm himself down, then shook his head: "I have never been in."
"That's good." Wu Jinpeng breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the wine glass, but before his lips touched the wine, he heard Chen Ge's voice.
"And you?"
The arm holding the wine glass froze in mid-air. It took Wu Jinpeng a while to react. He stood up and closed the door and window.
"Brother, come here and talk." Wu Jinpeng waved to Chen Ge, and they opened the curtain and went to the other side of the room. There was a single bed here and a mat on the floor: "Wu Sheng usually sleeps on the bed
, my brother Wu Kun and I slept in the living room, with a curtain in the middle."
"Probably starting from the past few days, Wu Sheng kept turning over at night and seemed to be unable to sleep well. I didn't take it seriously at first, but one time at 12 o'clock in the evening, Wu Sheng started turning over again, and I thought
I looked over there and found a dark shadow behind the curtain!"
Wu Jinpeng waved his hands and was very excited: "Just like what was shown on TV, I quietly walked over and opened the curtain and found Wu Sheng looking at me with his eyes open."
"I squatted for several days and finally saw the true face of the black shadow in Lushan. It was the same as what you said. It was a door, standing in the darkness."
"As long as the light is turned on or Wu Sheng wakes up, the door will disappear."
"Anyone would be scared if such a door appeared in their home. I prepared myself the day before yesterday and wanted to take a look inside, but I couldn't push the door open. This is very annoying!"
Wu Jinpeng sat on the bed: "I don't dare to tell others about this. I'm afraid they will think I'm abnormal."
"You can't push it away by yourself, how about we try together tonight?" Chen Ge's frown slowly relaxed: "My family happens to be in the same situation. How about our two families helping each other and staying together to keep warm?"
"It's okay, but I'm afraid that I'll be in danger and hurt you."
"It's okay. It's better for the two of us to take care of each other than to face danger alone."
"Brother, you are such a good person, I don't even know what to say."
"It should be." There was danger behind the door. Chen Ge agreed to go with Wu Jinpeng, but the moment he entered the door, he would stop Wu Jinpeng and go in alone.
"Let's eat and drink enough and let's get started tonight."
One thing was solved smoothly. Chen Ge now appreciates Wu Jinpeng more and more. He is even considering that if the other party really has difficulties, he can come to work in his haunted house in the future.
