Guiding Spirit [Part 1]

Jiang Mu has been living in Fuhua Community for a month, during which time nothing happened, not even a bug was seen in the house, and life was flat and stable.

The neighbors around him started pointing at him furtively at the beginning, and finally greeted him naturally, as if nothing like the haunted house had ever happened.

Xiao Wenke was the first to make friends with him.

I don't know if it was because we went home with an umbrella that night or something else, Jiang Mu found that this person would come to strike up a conversation within a few days, invite him to dinner and play, and even put him in the bathroom once The clothes on the rack are washed.

He felt that Xiao Wenke's enthusiasm was a bit over the line.

But Xiao Wenke didn't realize it at all, he was always persuading Jiang Mu to move upstairs to live next door to him, and even wanted to invite Jiang Mu to live with him without charging rent.

20.00% warm-hearted attributes, 80.00% homosexual tendencies.

This is Jiang Mu's temporary impression of him.

This afternoon.

He just came back from the outside, and before he entered the unit, he ran into Aunt Chen who lived on the first floor and was cooking in the kitchen.

"Has Xiao Jiang eaten?"

Aunt Chen yelled at Jiang Mu through the window.

He stopped and shook his head lightly, "Not yet."

"Would you like to come to Madam's place to eat some, Madam stewed chicken today, it is very tender and fresh."

"No, thank you for your kindness."

Aunt Chen seemed to say something through the window, but Jiang Mu had already entered the door and didn't hear it.

Fuhua Community is an old-fashioned community, with a total of four buildings, each with seven floors, no elevators, steep stairs, narrow corridors and dim light.As soon as he reached the stairs, he heard the sound of high heels stepping on the ground from behind, especially on the floor.

Jiang Mu turned around and glanced at a young lady who was wearing a miniskirt, heavy makeup and big waves. She was wearing stiletto heels and her snow-white legs were bare, but because of the cold weather, it was a little purple from the cold, probably the so-called Be beautiful.

The other party held the satchel in his hand and stopped to look at him vigilantly. Jiang Mu turned his head and went straight up the stairs without saying anything.

He was in front, the girl followed behind, and the two lived in peace.

But after going up a few flights of stairs, he suddenly heard the man behind him shouting to him.

"Hey, handsome guy in front, you are new to 503 not long ago, right?"

He turned around and glanced at her lightly, "Yeah."

"You have to be careful, I heard that the room is not clean."

The girl slightly lowered the corners of her lips and said something, then twisted and twisted away from the corridor door beside her with her delicate bag on her shoulders, with a graceful figure.

Jiang Mu looked up, the fourth floor.

He thought for a while and then shook his head helplessly. In the past month, he has heard people of all ages tell him almost every day that the house he lives in is very unlucky and it is easy to cause misfortune.

Of course, some people are kind reminders, while others are watching the fun with a hint of taboo.

But in Jiang Mu's view, maybe a lot of bad things happened there, and it was a place full of filth.

But now it's clean, even unusually clean.

After returning home.

Jiang Mu first went to the study room to print out the manuscript completed a few days ago. There were a lot of files, and the printer was working at "唰", "唰" and "唰". After setting the program, he came out of the room and planned to take a shower in the bathroom first, but Before he could walk over, there was a sudden sound at the door.

Most of the houses in Fuhua District don't have doorbells, and so does Jiang Mu's house.

He stopped and listened, and found the sound strange.

"Da", "da" and "da" were very soft, if it wasn't because the fifth floor was too quiet, he might not have noticed this sound.

After walking a few steps, he carefully identified it again and realized that it was someone knocking on the door of his house with nails.

But who would knock on the door like this?

He is more sneaky than Xiao Wenke who came to the "Haunted House" for the first time to deliver meals.

Is it a prank?

The afterglow of the setting sun outside shone in from the window sill, adding a touch of loneliness to the empty living room. The weird sound continued, and he walked towards the sound slowly without fear.

When Jiang Mu walked to the door, the sound was still ringing, and even the people outside seemed to know that he was coming, and deliberately scratched the iron door with their fingernails, which was extremely ear-piercing.

But when he opened the door the next second, there was no one outside!

The autumn wind poured into his room along the corridor, as cool as if blowing into people's hearts.

Jiang Mu stood at the door and waited quietly for a few minutes, but there was no sound in the long corridor.

He frowned slightly. If there was someone outside just now, the other party in such a long corridor could not have escaped without making a sound in an instant.

"Squeak".

The door of a room diagonally opposite was opened, and a tall, thin, bald, middle-aged man came out with his back bent. When he saw the expressionless Jiang Mu standing at the door, he was suddenly taken aback. He locked the door while using He looked at Jiang Mu a few more times with strange eyes, and muttered "bad luck".

Jiang Mu lowered his eyes and ignored him, and when the man walked over, he listened for a while to make sure there was still no movement before returning to the room, but before he could sit down, the door rang again.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The knock on the door was not loud, and the sound was normal.

"Brother Xiaojiang, I'm Dongdong."

Jiang Mu was finally sure that the person who came this time was an individual.

When he opened the door, he saw a little boy who was holding a small thermos bucket on his waist and raised his neck.

Tong Xiaodong, the grandson of Mrs. Chen on the first floor.

He bent down and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Xiaojiang, grandma asked me to bring you some chicken soup to taste. This is very delicious." Tong Xiaodong grinned at him with his neck tilted up. His front teeth, which were originally neat, were now missing, and he looked full of childlike innocence.

Jiang Mu froze for a moment, then bent his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to rub the opponent's head, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Tong Xiaodong said "You're welcome" in a childish voice while passing the thermos over, looking into the room curiously, Jiang Mu smiled at him, "Do you want to come in and take a look?"

"is it okay?"

"of course."

In fact, there is nothing to see in the house, there are not many things, and the furniture is pitiful, but it is better to clean up. Tong Xiaodong stands in the living room with his hands behind his back, looking left and right with a restrained expression. Jiang Mu puts the thermos on the table and turns around. out of the kitchen.

"Brother, your house is so big."

"Really?" He came out with a small porcelain basin and two sets of bowls and chopsticks, "Probably because there is not much furniture to take up space, Dongdong wants to eat with me?"

Tong Xiaodong shook his head, "That's for you, Dongdong's family still has a lot." As he spoke, he walked to the balcony to take a look, poking his head along the way as if he was on an adventure.

Jiang Mu filled the chicken soup in the thermos bucket into a small basin. Although it was for drinking chicken soup, there was a lot of chicken in it, and the small basin was full.

He covered the chicken soup with a cover, picked up the thermos bucket and went into the kitchen again.

"Brother, grandma said there is no need to wash it."

Inside, Jiang Mu looked at him from the window, smiled slightly and didn't respond.

……

Tong Xiaodong seemed to be very curious about this house. Jiang Mu saw that he was still looking around after washing and drying the thermos, so he couldn't help asking, "What are you looking for?"

"Huh?" The child reacted and scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I didn't find anything."

"Have you been here before?"

Tong Xiaodong looked up at him, and the other party looked gentle and easy to talk, he shook his head and said, "No, I just heard it before."

Jiang Mu asked softly: "Have you heard anything?"

Tong Xiaodong pursed his lips, "I heard from our classmates in the community that we should not go to 503 on the fifth floor. There are ghosts and ghosts inside, and they will eat children."

The serious and swearing face he said, but missing a front tooth, still made Jiang Mu chuckle, "Then what did you find today?"

Tong Xiaodong shook his head, "No, it's similar to our family, they lie."

"Isn't it good to have nothing?" Jiang Mu looked at him with a smile, "Or do you want to see it with your own eyes? Dongdong is not afraid of ghosts and ghosts?"

Tong Xiaodong thought of the monsters in his mind in a blink of an eye, shivered and said timidly, "I'm afraid."

He asked: "Since you are afraid, why dare you come up and knock on the door alone?"

The question was simple, and Tong Xiaodong blurted out, "Because Brother Xiaojiang is at home."

Jiang Mu tilted his head slightly to look at him for a while, and said, "Aren't you afraid when I'm here?"

"Ok!"

"It's getting late, let me take you down, or your grandma should be in a hurry."

Tong Xiaodong blinked and looked at him, he didn't quite understand how to say that he was going to send him home suddenly, did he say something wrong?But as a good boy, he still responded obediently: "Okay."

……

Aunt Chen made dinner and waited at home for a while, but she didn't see Dongdong coming down, so she was thinking of going up to pick up someone. There was a knock on the door of the house. Standing at the door were her grandson and the new young guy on the fifth floor.

"Yo, Dongdong." Aunt Chen stepped forward and pinched Tong Xiaodong's face, "Is it because I'm staying at Brother Xiaojiang's house and causing trouble for him?"

Tong Xiaodong twisted his body and hid behind Jiang Mu, blushing and refused to speak. Jiang Mu stroked the other's hair and smiled lightly, "No, Dongdong is very good."

Aunt Chen said: "Be good or not, I still don't know! By the way! Is the soup still suitable for your appetite? Oh, let me tell you, Xiao Jiang, you really need to make up for it. Look at you, you are thin, and the boy is strong." It's solid and beautiful!"

Jiang Mu nodded, "The soup is delicious, thank you for taking care of me."

Aunt Chen waved her hand, "Where did you say that? Did you see outsiders? They are all neighbors, so don't be polite."

Just a few polite words, there was a sudden noise from the stairs on the first floor, and some people could be vaguely seen pushing and shoving.

"Why did she come down? You don't like it either!"

"How can this be my fault? Did you not lock the door properly?"

"Stop talking nonsense, get her up quickly, or it will be bad for the neighbors to see."

"What are you talking about? You see it when you see it. Why can't we see people if we haven't stolen or robbed?"

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"

Jiang Mu looked over there, and saw a fat middle-aged man dragging a woman with messy short hair up the stairs, followed by a middle-aged woman with a sad face.

"It's a crime."

Aunt Chen looked at it and said something.

Jiang Mu turned his head and asked, "What's going on?"

Aunt Chen said: "That's the daughter of the old Lu family, Lu Shuang. I don't know what happened four years ago, but she suddenly went crazy. It's so pitiful. You don't know, Lu Shuang is a good girl, a college student, and her grades are also good. , people are beautiful, it’s a pity that this happened.”

"Four years ago? Was it related to 503?" He asked lightly.

Aunt Chen shook her head, "I don't know, I heard it seems to have something to do with it. That house used to be really weird, and the people who lived in it would move out in less than a week, saying that strange things always happened at home. It was within half a month of moving in..."

She looked at Jiang Mu hesitantly, and seeing that his expression had not changed, she continued: "But Xiao Jiang, don't be afraid. After the previous accident, the landlord has already asked an expert to do it. You don't know that the scene was very shocking at that time, as if What kind of talisman was used to expose the room to the sun for 81 days, the evildoer has been eliminated long ago, you see that you haven't had nothing to do this month."

Jiang Mu smiled lightly and didn't respond. Aunt Chen didn't care. Something happened at the other end of the corridor. The short-haired woman suddenly struggled to get rid of the shackles of the middle-aged man. The scene became very chaotic for a while. Aunt Chen of the old Lu family pushed Dongdong to Jiang Mu anxiously, and said, "What's going on? No, I have to go and see."

But she was stopped by Jiang Mu before she could go out, "She is not in a good state of mind now, she is so strong that she doesn't know how to measure it, and you can't help much if you go, it will be bad if she gets hurt again."

Aunt Chen wanted to say something, but the voice over there was getting louder and scared, so Tong Xiaodong rushed to Jiang Mu's side and grabbed his sleeve nervously, Jiang Mu looked down at him, and said: "Dongdong is still young, you Go into the house, I'll go and have a look."

……

Zhang Xiumei was angry and anxious when she saw her daughter baring her teeth and looking crazy, she couldn't bear to hit her, and her daughter couldn't understand her cursing.

She and Lao Lu have grown older in the past two years, and their physical fitness is far worse than before. Now they are a little powerless to deal with this "sick" daughter. Seeing Lao Lu on the stairs, holding his waist and gritting his teeth, he insisted on hugging his daughter. , Zhang Xiumei almost cried.

"Xiao Shuang, stop making trouble, and go back with mom." She helped her persuade her with earnest words, but in the end it only caused Lu Shuang to struggle more intensely. Seeing her daughter staring at her full of evil spirits, Zhang Xiumei felt a burst of despair, At this moment, Lu Shuang suddenly took a bite on her arm.

The bite was so hard that Zhang Xiumei rushed forward and pulled with her right hand. Unexpectedly, Lu Shuang turned her head and bit her hand. The pain caused her to loosen her left hand that was holding Lu Shuang, and Lu Shuang's fist was straight in the next second. Swinging her head, Zhang Xiumei staggered for several steps and hit the wall straight, and the sound could be heard.

"Xiumei!" Lao Lu felt even more anxious when he saw his daughter-in-law being beaten away by the girl, but his waist just froze and he couldn't use his strength, and now he was barely able to trap the girl, "Xiumei! Xiumei! Are you okay?"

Zhang Xiumei couldn't speak, she was not conscious anymore, leaning against the wall behind her, she only felt that her vision was blurred and her head was still dizzy. Fingers flew towards his face.

That vicious expression glared at her with a sinister smile, as if he wanted to gouge out her eyes, while behind him, Lao Lu was kneeling on the ground and clutching his waist, helpless.

In an instant, Zhang Xiumei's heart fell into a hole in the ice. She only had one thought now, and that was the end.

When the nail was close to her eyeball, her heart stopped beating, as if time stood still.

suddenly!

A slender, pale hand with sharp bones gently grasped Lu Shuang's wrist, and the next second, Zhang Xiumei saw her daughter being dragged away from her. Without the threat, Zhang Xiumei couldn't control her trembling legs for an instant. Sitting paralyzed on the ground, his face was pale with fright, and his heart began beating extremely fast with "bang" "bang" "bang".

The old Lu over there was afraid that Lu Shuang would hurt others again, forced himself to stand up and pressed his waist to help, but just as he stood up, he saw Lu Shuang roared in a low voice and rushed towards the young man just now, and couldn't help shouting: "Be careful!" !"

Old Lu's heart tightened before he stepped forward to see the young man dodging with special agility just now, and then he struck Lu Shuang with one hand like lightning, and then the other hand stretched out and quickly She frowned, not knowing what she was doing, he heard the other party frowned and ordered "quiet".

And his daughter who was in a state of madness really calmed down.
