Mr. Melanie, who was lying on the bed, seemed to hear someone talking next to him. His eyelids moved and he opened them forcefully. Wang Xuanyuan saw that his eyeballs were very cloudy, like those of an old man in his seventies or eighties. The same, his eyes were distracted and he looked like he was about to twitch.

After seeing several people standing around him, Mr. Melanie went completely crazy. He twisted his whole body, stretched out his right hand and grabbed it forward. He seemed to recognize Wang Xuanyuan, and he babbled in his mouth. , just speechless.

Then, his whole body suddenly began to twitch, slightly at first, but gradually became more severe.

Mrs. Melanie supported him and said with concern: "Old man, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me."

He turned back to Wang Xuanyuan and the others and said, "He has convulsions again. You go to the living room and sit down for a while. I will give him medicine first, which will make him quiet for a while."

Wang Xuanyuan glanced at the old man lying on the bed again, and led everyone out. The lawyer stayed behind to help Mrs. Melanie give the medicine. Someone was needed to hold him down.

The bedroom door was closed, and Wang Xuanyuan and the others could vaguely hear some noisy sounds in the hall, as if the medicine was not going smoothly.

After a while, the door was opened, and Mrs. Melanie and the lawyer came out. The Mrs. Melanie's face was even more sad, and she seemed to be very tired. He glanced at the people in the hall and said, "He has lost his mind now." I'm a little unclear. I gave him medicine without taking any medicine, so I had to pour it down. Hey, I really can't do it, but he can't hold on for so long without taking medicine, hey." After finishing speaking. Sighed several times.

The lawyer's face was not very good either, and he seemed very tired.

Mrs. Melanie sat on the sofa next to her. After calming down, she said to Wang Xuanyuan and the others: "Continuing with the topic just now, I will take you to see the place where the old man fell, so that you will know that it is a curse. , it’s not a plague disease or anything like that.”

Wang Xuanyuan and the others nodded and agreed to the proposal.

Mrs. Melanie did not stop, stood up again and asked Wang Xuanyuan to follow her.

Wang Xuanyuan and the other six stood up and followed his wife up the stairs. Wang Xuanyuan walked in front, Patrick followed him, and the other three girls followed in turn. The lawyer walked at the back, and he probably didn't go either. Have seen it.

Following the stairs, everyone arrived at the top of the third floor. It was a very messy empty house, only about 1.9 meters tall. A general could stand up and turned on the switch at the door. There was an old-fashioned orange light bulb inside. It's getting colder.

I saw that the house was full of dust, and every step would bring up a burst of dust. There are large old-fashioned sandalwood boxes placed around the house. I don't know what is inside. Some strange-shaped things are placed on the ground. They all look like very old items.

There is a human-shaped thing standing in the front corner, covered with a plastic sheet, and a row of old black and white photos are placed on a purple cabinet next to it, which looks like photos of the family's predecessors.

Since entering this house, Wang Xuanyuan and the others have felt the slightest chill. Mrs. Melanie said: "It is so cold here all year round. No matter how hot it is outside, it seems like there is air conditioning here. In fact, it is here." There is no refrigeration equipment.”

She continued: "My old man fell down here and broke his leg at that time. Fortunately, I was eating on the second floor and heard something moving upstairs. I went up and found him lying on the ground. Then I called Him. He was still conscious when I helped him up. When I helped him downstairs, something was wrong with him. He was twitching and mentally abnormal. He was like a police chief and had lost his normal state. I was scared at that time. I’m stupid, I just heard that this happened here a long time ago, but I didn’t expect it to happen to me.”

When Wang Xuanyuan heard what she said, he asked a question: "So, why did your husband go here? I mean, what is he doing here?"

Mrs. Melanie said: "I don't know much about this. After he lost his ability to think like a normal person, I didn't ask him why he came here. After all, we haven't been here for decades. They were all things we wore and used when we were young, as well as dowries, cupboards, etc. from when we got married. After a few years after we got married, we packed up all those things and planned to throw them away. , and then I thought about it and kept it here."

After Wang Xuanyuan heard this, he felt that her statement was not very tenable, but it was still reasonable.

The lawyer replied from the side: "People are nostalgic when they get old. Maybe Mr. Melanie knows that her current physical condition is not very good, so she wants to take a look at the things she once used and the place where she lived. , this is normal."

Mrs. Melanie also said yes, saying that this might be the reason.

The environment on the top floor was really bad. It was very dirty and messy. No one had cleaned it for decades. Everyone went downstairs one after another and sat down in the lobby again. Looking at the watch, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was not much sunlight left outside.

While Wang Xuanyuan was checking the time on his phone, he remembered something and asked, "Madam, why is there no signal here?"

Mrs. Melanie said: "You mean mobile phone signal? There was originally a plan to install a transmission tower near here, and the plan was from AT&T, but we seriously protested because it would damage the natural environment and destroy the unique humanities here. Temperament, and more importantly, no one uses mobile phones here, so they no longer insist on installing transmission towers.”

Wang Xuanyuan said in confusion: "But there is no connection with the outside world, so what if something happens?"

Mrs. Melanie said: "We have a fixed telephone line here, which is installed in the village recreation gym next to the central intersection of the village. That line is only used a few times a year. No, no one informed you when you came here. We, or maybe we called, but no one picked up."

Wang Xuanyuan was silent. This place was really closed. The police chief didn't say whether he said hello in advance or not. According to the situation last night, he probably didn't say hello in advance, so he didn't prepare anything, and he didn't even buy anything on the way. Some food, and it happened that they needed to refuel when passing by the previous town, so they refilled the tank once. At least there was still a lot of gas, enough for them to drive to a larger town.

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Then let's go to the gym now and call 911 for help."
