Jiang Li opened the anti-theft door, and a key was inserted into the lock hole inside the anti-theft door.

The wooden door inside was not locked either, and opened with a slight push of the hand.

Jiang Li and Hua Shu looked at each other, reached out and knocked on the wooden door, seeing no one answered, Jiang Li pushed the wooden door completely open.

It was very empty inside, and it didn't look like it was inhabited by people.

Jiang Li said "excuse me", and then the two walked in.Huashu put the anti-theft door behind her back in her hand, and with a click, the keyhole closed, but the wooden door remained open.

The house has two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom.There is no balcony.

The area is about 80 square meters.

There is no furniture in the house, only a mattress is spread in the middle of the floor in the living room.

The bathroom has a toilet and sink.

The overall walls are gray and white, and the floor is cement.

In the corner of the two bedrooms and the living room, some discarded paint buckets and colored brushes are scattered, and apart from the two-person wide mattress, the rest of the space is scattered with some easels and blank canvases.

Some canvases are placed on easels, some are erected in corners, and some are lying on the ground.

Jiang Li counted, and there were 11 easels and 12 canvases.

Although the paints and brushes are all used and discarded, and even the corner wall and the ground are stained with paint splashes, but the 12 canvases are all clean, without any traces of paint painting.It's all a blank canvas.

Not only the canvas, but the easel is equally clean.

With such a simple layout, it is clear at a glance whether anyone is there.

Tian Ruyi is not here, but this house must have slept in people before.

Jiang Li wandered out of the bedroom, glanced at the door inadvertently, and was startled.

The uncle of 503 was standing upright outside the door for an unknown how long.He was standing under the lantern, his face was glowing red.

Poker face.

As soon as Jiang Li looked at him, a bright smile appeared on his originally stiff face.

Jiang Li was not used to it, this face change was like flipping through a book!

The uncle raised his hand, beckoned to Jiang Li, and said with a smile, "Young man, come here."

Jiang Li paused, and walked to the door, but did not approach.

He also put on a friendly smile: "Uncle, what's the matter?"

The uncle took a step forward, his face almost touching the anti-theft door.

"Who are you Ruyi?"

Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said, "Friend."

"Oh, no wonder. Ruyi hasn't come back for a long time, and I don't know where she went. Our neighbors miss her a lot. She is a good girl." The uncle rolled his eyes and glanced around the room, as if searching for something. : "Didn't Ruyi come back with you this time?"

Jiang Li said: "No, she has something to do."

"Oh, then what are you doing here?"

"Stay overnight."

"Oh, do you want to stay?"

"Yes."

"How long do you live?"

"one night."

"No, young man." The uncle shook his head disapprovingly.

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows: "What?"

The uncle sighed: "Didn't that child Ruyi tell you that this house is haunted?"

Jiang Li was silent for a while.

The uncle stretched his neck forward, "Well, it's tiring to stand and talk all the time. Open the door, and I'll go in and talk to you, and tell you how to avoid it." After speaking, he waved his hands, his face full of amiability.

But Jiang Li didn't move, he asked: "Uncle, do you dare to enter a haunted house? It doesn't make sense." Jiang Li asked: "Aren't you afraid to tell the method in front of the ghost, offend it, and be haunted by the ghost?" up?"

The uncle was silent for a moment.

Jiang Li continued to ask: "Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you tell us to leave the house quickly and not live here?"

"Or just let us go out, find a quiet place, and tell us how?"

The uncle coughed: "I didn't think that much, I was confused."

The uncle changed his words: "Then I won't go in, you guys come out, don't stay in this room, get out of here quickly."

"Or you can come to my room." The uncle looked at Jiang Li eagerly, his eyes were unusually eager, and he obviously regarded Jiang Li as the master.

Jiang Li didn't answer, her eyes drooped, she glanced at the door lock, and her heart skipped a beat.

The key to the anti-theft door is still inserted in the door lock on the inward side.

People outside stand at the door, and they can pull out the key as long as they stretch out their hands to push open the gauze in the gap of the anti-theft door.

Jiang Li looked at the uncle's hand on the door rail calmly. His hand was only two palms away from the key.

Jiang Li raised her hand to her forehead, as if thinking, then turned around and mouthed to Huashu.

Huashu blinked.

Jiang Li turned around, put down her hands and talked to the uncle, attracting the uncle's attention: "Uncle, we have no place to go tonight, so we came here to borrow."

Hearing what Jiang Li said, the uncle's originally relaxed expression immediately became serious. He frowned and glanced at the flower tree that walked to the door, and looked at Jiang Li over the shoulder of the flower tree, and said unhappily: "You young people, you are not afraid of death. Is it? I have warned you kindly, do you think I am bluffing you? "

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard two clicks of the door lock, and it was locked twice.

Then the young man at the door quickly backed away with a key and withdrew into the house.

The uncle was stunned for a moment, showing an angry expression: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Li said calmly, "We won't leave."

The uncle looked cold and solemn: "Don't you listen to persuasion?"

Jiang Li smiled: "Uncle, you may not know that we have a countdown, and if we leave, we won't get any clues. We will die."

The muscles on the uncle's face twitched. He didn't seem to understand what Jiang Li was talking about. After a while, he raised his hand and wiped his face, and became a kind neighbor again, with a face full of generosity that didn't care about the young man: "Forget it, It’s okay if you don’t leave, but I’m not afraid of ghosts, so I’ll go in and tell you about it. I’m tired from standing for so long, and I want to sit down.” After speaking, he kicked his legs and pretended to be sore.

Jiang Li: "You can go home."

"..."

"We won't let you in anyway."

The uncle was furious: "Why? Today's young people don't even understand this kind of politeness? It's really a declining world."

Jiang Li shook her head: "It has nothing to do with being polite, after all life is important."

The uncle pulled his face down: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows: "Uncle, do you mind bringing the hand that has been behind your back to the front, and let us see what you are holding?"

"..." The uncle sneered, "Hehe, just wait and see."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking to others, but turned around and left. From the beginning to the end, he didn't show his hands behind his back.

But Huashu's sharp eyes saw a bit of the blade, and accompanied by the sound of the uncle slamming the door, he told Jiang Li, "It's a kitchen knife."

Jiang Li wiped off her sweat, "This neighbor is crazy!"

Huashu said: "The residents in this building are all wrong, I'm afraid it's not just the neighbors who are crazy."

Jiang Li wiped her face, "That is to say, there might be someone else coming?"

Huashu said: "I think so."

Jiang Li: "I'm so tired, let's rest for a while."

The two went to sit on the mattress in the living room.

But as soon as they sat down, there was a fierce quarrel downstairs. It seemed that the young couple downstairs had a disagreement about who would do the housework. A few words escalated the quarrel into domestic violence, and then the woman screamed, Crying, men threatening, roaring.

Next is the woman rushing out of the door, and the man chasing after.

The sound of two hurried footsteps echoed throughout the corridor.

The woman kept knocking on the doors she passed by, calling for help, but from the sound, she didn't seem to knock on the door of even one house, and no one came out to help her. When she ran to the fourth floor, she seemed to be overtaken by a man. There was a muffled sound, followed by a woman's miserable cry.
