Chapter 3 Chapter 3

There were lights in the windows of three other houses on the three upper floors, and one belonged to Xiao Zhang's house in Room 202, Building B. He must have been playing computer games all night again. There is also 908 in Building A. The lights are on normally. There is a woman named She Huahua who lives there. The owner goes to bed late every night, but I will not go to her door to watch the night if I am killed. Another one is Tongtong's house in Building C 406, which is very abnormal.A woman with a daughter, why are the lights on so late? Thinking of what Tong Tong's mother said during the day, and the black shadow I saw just now, I don't know if it was a hallucination, I stood blankly on the grass for a while.

The night in early spring is a bit cold. I turned the flashlight brighter and walked towards Building C. Since Lin Xiaoyu disappeared, building C has had the most people move out. Except that the elevator can go up and down normally, the lights in the stairwell have long been turned off by the power supply bureau. The floor of Tongtong's house in 406 is not high. I didn't take the elevator and climbed up the stairs. After all, I was a little old. I was a little out of breath when I first reached the second floor. I held on to the handrail of the stairs and wanted to rest for a while. The armrest vibrated slightly.

I withdrew my left hand, rubbed it on my trouser leg, and leaned against the armrest again. Yes, the banister was vibrating, slightly but continuously. This means upstairs, although I don't know which floor it is.But someone was walking in the stairwell. I looked at my watch, it was three o'clock in the morning. In addition to Tongtong's family in this building, there is also a man living in 807.But that man only comes back one or two days a month, and I haven't seen him recently. I looked up and saw that the dark corridor was like a long mouth, waiting for me to get in coldly.

The flashlight in my hand can only illuminate the corner of the floor under my feet, and who knows what is in the darkness. Who is it, walking in the empty and dark corridor at three o'clock in the morning? The light from the flashlight is straight, but the corridor is winding up. I couldn't shine above the third floor, and when I climbed to the fourth floor, the handrail no longer vibrated. I turned off the flashlight, stood outside Tongtong's house, and put my ear on the door to hear the movement inside. When, accidentally, the flashlight touched the anti-theft door, I felt flustered for no reason, turned around and wanted to go downstairs.

After all, standing at someone's door so late is not an easy thing to explain. Just turned around and took a few steps, there was a creak behind him, and the door opened.Light rushed through the open door, casting a long shadow of my body on the opposite wall. I had no choice but to turn around, and saw Tongtong standing at the door holding the teddy bear, and Tongtong's mother standing behind her, her face pale, and the mother and daughter looked at me expressionlessly. I didn't know what to say for a while, and they didn't say anything, and everyone was deadlocked like this.

I licked my lips and decided to break the deadlock: Mother Tongtong, I am underneath... Before I finished speaking, Tong Tong's mother stretched out her hand and slammed the door shut. In an instant, I clearly saw that the outstretched hand was full of embroidery needles. I didn't have the courage to knock on the door again, and wanted to leave here in a panic, almost jogging to the elevator and pressing the button. The elevator shows the 3rd floor, no matter how I press it, it stops at the 3rd floor. I suddenly understood: there was someone in the elevator, and that person stopped stubbornly on the third floor.

What's on the third floor?There is Lin Xiaoyu's home. I have pressed the button twice, but still the elevator door does not open. It suddenly occurred to me that if I run to the third floor now, I can just catch the people coming out of the elevator. But when I ran to the third floor, the elevator was wide open, and there was no one in it. He was gone, just the short time I was on the next floor. I was about to walk into the elevator, suddenly there was a loud noise in room 306, and something seemed to fall on the floor. Could it be that the people in the elevator entered 306?Since Lin Xiaoyu disappeared, her house has been empty for a long time, who would be in it?

As a security guard, I have to investigate, after all, if a homeless person or something comes in, something will happen and my job will be ruined. I didn't get into the elevator, and walked to 306 and looked into the cat's eyes desperately. Of course, the cat's eyes were completely black, and he couldn't see anything. But people are like this, sometimes they know that they can't see anything, but they still have to look desperately. After watching for a long time, there was no sound from inside. After thinking about it, I bent my fingers and knocked on the door lightly.

Still nothing. Maybe some wild cats and dogs jumped in through the window sill. I went back to the elevator and pressed the door open button. A ray of light crawled out from the slowly opened door of the elevator, and out of the corner of my eyes, I just saw a black shadow flashing out from the ceiling in the corridor. It was still that lizard-like shadow. I looked closely, but there was still nothing. I thought for a while, quickly got into the elevator and went downstairs, and then let out a long sigh of relief after rushing out of the corridor. The night is so long, but eventually the sun will come out.

I was a little drowsy during the morning shift, and when I dozed off, I suddenly thought: If I had looked through the peephole at the gate of 306 last night, and there was something inside, I would have seen something dead black. Xiao Zhang came to me early in the morning and asked me: Father Chen, I heard that you have traded in stocks before?How much did you earn? I looked at him: Am I still here to guard the door if I make money?He smiled embarrassingly: Then have you ever thought about continuing to fry? I murmured: Don't look at the trivial matters of the community, how can I have time to go to the stock exchange after taking care of here?

Xiao Zhang cheered up: Can you buy a computer?I'll help you get a network cable from my room, and you can sit in the reception room to fry. I thought about it: Are you going to sell computers?He chuckled: My friend happens to have a second-hand computer, which is cheap, only 1,500 yuan, and it is guaranteed to be able to speculate in stocks. Seeing that I didn't speak, he said again: Tell the neighborhood committee, I'll help you install a wireless surveillance system at the entrance of each building, try it for a month, and pay if it works. He lowered his voice: I will give you a kickback for that computer for free. I said nothing, thinking about the computer in my heart, and replied to him: It will be a few days.He stood up to leave, turned around and asked, "How many shares do you still have, Dad?" I thought about it: There are five of them, press them.He chuckled: It would be a pity not to speculate, and you wouldn't know if it went up. I nodded, and he left. When I went out, I happened to meet She Huahua from 908 in Building A, who was riding a battery car and came in with a big bag. He stared at She Huahua's E-cup and whistled. She Huahua gave him a blank look: dead.He stopped and turned to me and said: Uncle Chen, do you have any letters from me? I quickly lowered my head, not daring to look into her fiery eyes, and shook my head again and again: I didn't see it, I didn't see it. She let out an oh, and was about to get into the car, then stopped suddenly, and smiled at me: Uncle Chen, the sewer in my kitchen is old and blocked, can you come up and take a look for me? I wish I could bury my head in my crotch: I have the number of the housekeeping company.I will help you fight later, help you fight. She Huahua smiled again and left. Xiao Zhang immediately came over: hey.Dad.Dad, there is a show, they want you to go to the vaginal channel, to have a vaginal passage.You old cow needs tender grass to eat. I picked up a newspaper on the table and knocked him on the head: no one is serious, even your uncle dares to tease you. Xiao Zhang walked away with a lewd smile, I looked at She Huahua's back, wiped the sweat off my brow, and thought: If Xiao Zhang knew the true face of this woman, his legs would probably go limp from fright. Every once in a while, dubious men would go to She Huahua's house to look for her, but I only saw them go in, and no one came out. It never came out. People who have lived to my age have already learned that it is best not to mix things with women, especially things with beautiful women. With that kind of love, it is better to care about the next generation: For example, Tongtong who is crying at my door now. Although I didn't know what happened to their mother and daughter, I hurriedly dragged her into the reception room: Tongtong, why are you crying? She cried and stretched out her little hand: Grandpa Chen, I am in pain, and my mother pricked me again with a needle. I put on my reading glasses and looked at it, and my anger suddenly rose: Tongtong's index finger was open, and only the smallest needle was exposed from the nail, which could not be seen without looking carefully. This woman is crazy, she must be crazy!I took out the sewing box, felt the thinnest cotton thread through the nose of the needle, tied a short knot, turned my head and didn't dare to look at Tongtong's hand, and pulled it gently. Tongtong didn't call.I turned around and saw beads of sweat dripping from her head, looking at me palely, biting her lip with her teeth. I gritted my teeth and pulled the thread hard to pull out the needle. The child cried bitterly, and my heart felt like a knife was twisted, and I wanted to cry too. This damned woman, the pig will listen to your nonsense again!I grabbed Tongtong's hand: let's go, Tongtong, I won't be going to school anymore, I'm going to settle accounts with your mother. Tongtong backed away in horror: I won't go, I dare not go, that's not my mother, she, she's a monster. My heart turned cold, not because I was afraid, but because I heard Tong Tong's mother say that about her daughter not long ago. Tongtong cried and said: She wakes up in the middle of the night every day, and then she pricks me after pricking with the needle. She scolded my dad while pricking, saying that he caused her so much pain and couldn't take revenge on him. hurt her. She pricked me with the needle and asked me if I remembered it, and if I remembered it. I suddenly remembered that Tongtong's mother closed the door that night, and the needles that looked like cow hair were all blamed on me. I had heard the child say it before, but I was deceived by Tongtong's mother's nonsense. I asked Tongtong: Who bought that baby bear for you?She answered honestly: Mom bought it for me. When she lost her temper, she would tear off the bear’s head, and sew it back on when she stopped losing her temper. I like bears. She hit me like crazy, pricked me with a needle, and said that I wanted to sew her mouth shut, and I didn't want to hear her speak ill of my dad. enough!I finally knew: this woman, Tong Tong, the poor child's mother, has gone mad. I whispered to Tongtong: Tongtong, are you brave? Tongtong nodded sensibly. I cut off the threaded end of the needle and handed it to Tongtong: Tongtong, you continue to go to school now, if your mother finds that the needle in your hand is gone, you will pull it out yourself, do you understand? Tongtong pinned the needle in her schoolbag, sobbed and said: But I dare not go back!Tonight she will stab me again. I whispered to Tongtong: Grandpa Chen will definitely save you at night, don't worry, I will persuade your mother not to stab you and scold you. Tongtong stretched out her little finger: "Grandpa, you hook me up." After pulling the check mark, Tongtong picked up her schoolbag and skipped happily to school. When I couldn't see Tongtong, I picked up the phone. I called the police of the neighborhood committee. It's getting dark again, and I'm no longer the only one going to Tongtong's house tonight.
