The first thing He Xiaoru and I saw was a dilapidated courtyard, the weeds grew as tall as a man, and the layers of dead branches and leaves had already flooded the two steps leading into the hall. Occasionally, we could hear the activities of small animals. sound.
Many parts of the white building in the distance have peeled off, revealing the red wall bricks inside. There is hardly a piece of glass on the windows that is good, and the door is still intact, tightly closed, trying to hide the secrets inside.
He Xiaoru and I walked into the courtyard slowly, our feet were very soft, and there was a rustling sound of dry leaves being trampled.
The light of the flashlight kept scanning the surroundings, as if worried about sudden changes.
He Xiaoru swallowed louder.
"Who?" came a voice bursting with fear.
I almost dropped the flashlight in my hand, because the sound was not from me or He Xiaoru, but from a distant corner.
With a steady mind, I used a flashlight to shine towards the place where the sound came from. A 15- or 6-year-old boy covered his eyes with one hand to block the strong light I shot, and then shone with a flashlight in the other hand.
Seeing that it was a person, whether it was us or the other party, we all let out a sigh of relief.
The young man seemed to curse a few words in a low voice, then walked towards me, stomping on the ground with a rustling sound, and then two people of average size appeared behind the young man, following closely behind the young man.
The boy walked up to me, looked at He Xiaoru who was already pale with fright, and said to me: "Brother, are you also here for an adventure?"
Only now did I have the opportunity to take a closer look at the boy. I didn't judge his age wrong just now. He looked about 15 or 6 years old, and he was wearing a tracksuit. There were a few green marks on it, which seemed to be scratched when he climbed the wall.
One of the two people in the back is a boy who is about the same age as the boy, and is also a boy in sports attire, and a girl of the same age is holding on to the boy's arm and staring at me in fear.
"People are scary, scary to death." He Xiaoru said: "You are here to explore, you are really brave."
The boy chuckled: "Aren't you too? Each other."
He Xiaoru also smiled: "We only go to the lobby."
The young man said proudly, "We're going to have a good time shopping."
After the two finished speaking, they both acted as if they met someone of the same way.
I can only be speechless, I am not only in my 20s, how do I feel that I am a person in a completely different world from them.
After cherishing each other for a while, everyone also introduced themselves. The three teenagers are all students from a nearby middle school. After reading an introduction to a ghost building on the Internet, they came up with the idea of exploring. The leader is Chen Kai. , the two people hugging tightly behind, the boy is Chen Kai's friend and roommate Wu Di, and the girl is Wu Di's girlfriend, named Xiaomao.
I looked at Wu Di and the kitten who were hugging tightly, and thought without malice in my heart, is it because Wu Di came to explore the ghost building to take advantage of it? Of course, they are boyfriend and girlfriend, so it's normal.
Seeing me looking over, Wu Di pouted at the cat whose head was buried in his chest, and squeezed out an expression that you understand.
I was immediately depressed, and unconsciously looked at He Xiaoru beside me, not to mention, although He Xiaoru's personality was a bit weird, she was definitely a beauty.
He Xiaoru didn't pay attention to me, but led Chen Kai to explore the road carefully, and Wu Di, Mao'er, I followed quickly.
For a long time, He Xiaoru gave me the feeling of being bold, but I didn't expect that Chen Kai, who was only in his teens, was even more courageous. He walked up to the gate and kicked it open.
The sudden loud noise in the night made me jump when I was unprepared, this brat.
The hall of the ghost building is very large, and directly opposite is the staircase that separates to the two sides and rotates upwards. There are obvious partitions on both sides of the hall. Looking at it, countless tables and chairs fell down and piled up randomly. It seems that the tables and chairs in the hall have been stacked on both sides.
Chen Kai greeted and invited He Xiaoru to go upstairs to explore together. After all, although the downstairs is big, it can be seen at a glance. He Xiaoru refused with a smile, and in the end even wished Chen Kai a smooth expedition.
Well, I have to admit that the funny conversation between He Xiaoru and Chen Kai completely made the haunted building lose its scary atmosphere.
Feeling that there was a huge generation gap, I said something like being careful, and looked for the brazier that the old woman in the shroud shop said in Chen Kai's contemptuous eyes when he was parting.
In fact, there is no need to look for it at all. A round brazier with a diameter of one meter is placed in the middle of the two spiral stairs upstairs in the hall.
I called He Xiaoru and walked towards the brazier.
To be honest, I have never seen such a big brazier before. When I looked at it with a flashlight, there seemed to be ashes in the brazier, but because of the long time, it has become one with the brazier, which looks like a thick casserole.
I put the bag aside, took out the yellow money paper from it, and put it into the brazier, at this time He Xiaoru also came over, squatted beside me, and tore up the money paper.
At this moment, I felt like a young couple worshiping their ancestors together.
He Xiaoru who took out the lighter and lit it a few times said depressedly: "What kind of paper did you buy? Why can't it be ignited?"
He Xiaoru immediately woke me up from my delusions, and quickly took out a match from my body: "The old man said, use this match to light it."
As I said that, I opened the match, and there was only one match lying quietly in the seemingly full matchbox. This is the feeling of having to ignite for once.
Fortunately, there was no problem with the match. It was lit at one point, and a reddish flame rose, forming a small vortex in the sky above the brazier in an instant, rolling countless paper ash into the sky.
Seeing this scene, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, knowing in my heart that it was the airflow caused by the temperature of the flame, but my heart was still trembling, and the speed in my hands increased, and I kept putting ingots and the like into the brazier .
"Hey, don't you ask them to let you go and stop sending you photos?"
He Xiaoru reminded me, I ignored the dust on the ground, knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowed three times, and muttered: All gods, I hope you will spare me and my family.
The old woman in the shroud shop gave me a lot of things, and it took a long time to burn them. I was so careful that I took out my phone and looked at it. It was almost 1 o'clock in the morning.
On the other hand, He Xiaoru dozed off exaggeratedly, oh my god, this is in a ghost building, although I don't think there is anything scary about the ghost building now.
Perhaps it was because of this disrespectful thought in my heart that something happened at last.
"Hey, you're not falling asleep, are you?" I patted He Xiaoru's shoulder with my hand.
He Xiaoru trembled, and quickly raised his head: "How is it possible?" After speaking, he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
At this moment, I think He Xiaoru is really cute. If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be so relaxed.
"Let's go, the paper is burnt out."
He Xiaoru was stunned for a moment, as if he was somewhat disappointed by this calm night, but he nodded and stood up: "Okay, congratulations that you are all right, by the way, Chen Kai and the others are gone?"
