Chapter 444 Chapter 23 The Church Bells

Having said that, I have to mention a story after I went to college. As mentioned above, my hometown is in Yueyang, and my university is in Liaoning.So every time I return from school during the winter vacation, or leave my hometown, I will inevitably pass through Beijing.Sometimes I change trains in Beijing and go directly to the small city where the school is located; sometimes I change trains in Shenyang. If I change trains in Beijing, I usually stay in my cousin's dormitory for a few days.My cousin is handsome and handsome, and works in a three-star Hunan cuisine restaurant in Beijing.

Because my cousin had heard about some things about my grandfather in the country, he told me the real and strange things he encountered.Here's the thing... In the third year after working in Beijing, my cousin was promoted to manager.So, he moved away from the staff dormitory shared by several people and rented a one-bedroom house close to the hotel, living on the twelfth floor. Opposite the house is a white church, quiet and serene.My cousin himself is skeptical about ghosts and gods, but he lives near the church. He thinks that the environment is relatively clean and he can be at peace of mind.

After living in this way for more than half a month, my cousin still thinks it is very comfortable and enjoys it. The transformation takes place on the fifteenth day of a certain month, the night of the full moon. That night, my cousin drank with a client until eleven o'clock.On the way back to the rental house, he looked up at the moon, which was as round as the mouth of a bowl in his hometown. He said that although he was a little drunk at the time, when he looked up and saw the moon, he was still a little surprised: why is the moon so round tonight? But he quickly laughed at himself. On the 15th of every month, the moon will become much rounder than usual. He should be used to it. Why is it so rare and strange tonight?

My cousin said that his premonition was particularly strong.When he first came to work in Beijing, he was in charge of the lobby management of the hotel.Once, he saw a beautiful celadon kettle on a guest's dining table. For some unknown reason, a voice suddenly came out of his heart: "The kettle will definitely break if it is left like this!" He wanted to go up and say something to the guest, but he didn't.Because the celadon kettle was no different from the location where other waiters put the kettle, he had no reason to remind the customer. But he always felt that something was wrong, and he was a little flustered.He took a good look at the kettle, but couldn't find anything wrong.

The guest was chatting with other people at the table, looking leisurely. The cousin comforted himself a few words, thinking that he was too sensitive.However, just when he persuaded himself not to look and turned to leave, there was a "bang!"My cousin heard the sound of porcelain breaking.He hurriedly turned his head and saw the same dumbfounded guest staring at the ground in a daze. "I didn't touch it, why did it fall?" The guest looked around in amazement to make sure if someone else had bumped into the kettle while passing behind him, but there was no one five meters behind him.

Cousin was even more surprised.But he pretended to be calm and left the scene, and hid in the staff dormitory, panting heavily. Another time, my cousin and several employees went to the restaurant owner's house to play.The boss just bought a very beautiful curtain, and he is happy to introduce it to everyone who comes to his house.Others praised how beautiful and elegant the curtain was.Only my cousin suddenly looked serious.He secretly said to his companion, "I feel like this curtain is missing a corner." The companion didn't dare to speak loudly: "Where is a corner missing? Look, isn't this complete?"

The cousin shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the present, I always feel that the corner on the left is going to be burned." The companion laughed and said, "Are you a little nervous?" Cousin didn't say anything more.He told me that every time he looked at the curtain, he could faintly smell a burnt smell, and always felt that something was wrong with the curtain, because it should be missing a large piece on the left side naturally.But the boss is so happy, he can't say it, and he can't say it. Later, not long after, a fire broke out in the boss's house, but it was extinguished in time.When my cousin and some employees went to the boss's house again, the left corner of the curtain was indeed missing.

The companion who had talked to my cousin before was taken aback.The cousin was also surprised for a while, and then felt uncomfortable.Cousin's mood is naturally not difficult to understand.I believe that if anyone foresees the unfortunate things happening around him, he will never be happy for his ability to foresee, but will only panic or feel uncomfortable for it. After the previous two incidents, when my cousin was surprised that the moon in the sky was too round, he felt more attention and nervousness. Fortunately, he was a little drunk at this time, and his thoughts did not stay on the round moon.Back in the rented room, he quickly lay down on the small bed.He didn't fall asleep immediately, but took another look at the layout of the house.

The curtain of the window was slightly opened, and the moonlight streamed into the room through the small gap and sprinkled on his bedside.Through that gap, he also saw the immaculate white church on the opposite side standing quietly, like a serene priest in a white monk's robe. After such a simple glance, he fell into sleep... In his sleep, he vaguely heard the bells of the church—dang...dang...dang... He followed the bell and counted to twelve.The cousin said that he still had a little consciousness in his sleep, and he wondered, didn't he just come back from drinking?Why does this church ring at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night?I don't usually see this!Doesn't ringing the bell like this wake up the surrounding residents?

But soon, he stopped doubting the church and started wondering if he had overslept.Did I drink so much last night that I fell asleep until twelve noon the next day?Then I'll be late for work! In a hurry, my cousin woke up from his not deep sleep. The first thing he saw was the absence of moonlight beside the bed.He thought in a daze, isn't the moon round?Why not?Then he saw that the gap in the curtain was gone too. No, if it was twelve o'clock at noon, the room wouldn't be so dark; if it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, why did the moon suddenly disappear?

My cousin propped up his limp hands and barely propped himself up to get up.As soon as he sat up, he was startled by a shadow by the window!It was a figure!The figure turned its back on him, facing the white church opposite, in a daze.
