Guo Ying couldn't help but glanced into the car window, and she was relieved that there was no one in the brightly lit car window.
Guo Ying laughed at herself being suspicious, shook her head, carried her bag on her back and continued walking, letting the evening wind blow her loose hair.
Walking into the apartment building, she was not surprised to see that the door of a household on the first floor was open. The aunt in this house has a hobby of playing mahjong. She often plays mahjong with her poker friends until late at night, usually after eleven o'clock. rest.
The corridors are pitch-black, and the voice-activated sensor lights in the old-fashioned residential buildings have long since broken, so Guo Ying can only use her mobile phone to illuminate.
After turning on the phone, Guo Ying walked up the steps by the light of the phone.
Going all the way to the second floor, Guo Ying remembered one thing, which made her feel terrified—
The aunt on the first floor, the lights in their house are not on.
Generally speaking, they all play mahjong with a small lamp, but just now the door was pitch black, and there was no sound at all. Auntie's house will not have any trouble, right
All of a sudden, various horrific murder cases came to mind, and Guo Ying was frightened into a cold sweat by her brain.
However, she felt that such a coincidence was impossible, so she shook her head to dispel these terrible thoughts.
Guo Ying climbed up the stairs to the fourth floor and took out the key to open the door. When she closed the door and turned on the lights in the room, she was relieved.
Back in the bedroom, Guo Ying was so tired that she lay down on the bed without washing up, wanting to have a good sleep.
But as soon as she lay down, there was a knock on the door. She opened the door and found her mother standing outside with a bowl in her hand.
"Mom, what are you doing? I'm so tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Didn't have a good meal tonight? Have a bowl of soup."
Mother was holding a bowl of soup in her hand. The soup was hot and still exuded wisps of heat.
Guo Ying didn't like to drink at night, and was afraid of getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but her mother had to drink out of good intentions. So, she picked up the bowl, drank the soup in a big gulp, wiped her mouth and said: "Mom, I'm done drinking, you should go to bed early too, I come back late from get off work, don't wait for me in the future."
Mother nodded, took the bowl and left the door.
Guo Ying returned to the bed and fell asleep not long after.
Strange to say, after drinking a large bowl of soup, she should have been urinating in the middle of the night. However, in the morning, Guo Ying found that she did not drain much more water than usual.
Because of her busy schedule and her liking to sleep late, Guo Ying didn't eat breakfast. She simply washed up and hurried to the convenience store to start a new day...
Originally, her daily life should be like this, a busy and fulfilling life, but since that day, everything has become wrong.
The next night, when she came home as usual, she was still startled by the light on the car window.
She looked at the car window as usual, but there was no one in the car window.
But when she walked into the unit building and the corridor, she suddenly discovered something that she was terrified of—
The anti-theft door of the aunt's house in 101 on the first floor is still open, and there are still no lights inside.
Guo Ying walked past the anti-theft door of her aunt's house lightly, for fear of disturbing the possible murderers inside.
After walking through the anti-theft door, Guo Ying found that the door of Central 102 on the first floor was opened with a barely detectable crack.
Guo Ying walked to the fourth floor in one breath, and was relieved when she got home and closed the door.
She laughed because she was scaring herself, if something happened to her aunt's house, it would have been on the news long ago, and other neighbors in the residential building would also discuss it, it wouldn't be like it is now, the corridor is very quiet.
Guo Ying wasn't too tired today, so she washed up before going to bed.
But this time before she could lie down, the knock on the door came again.
She opened the door, and her mother was still standing outside with a bowl of soup in her hand.
"Mom, you won't let me drink soup again?" Guo Ying frowned and said, "I've already brushed my teeth, let's drink it tomorrow."
Mother didn't speak, but still carried the soup.
Guo Ying knew that her mother was a stubborn person, and she didn't want to make her angry.
Seeing her mother like this, she sighed helplessly, took the soup and drank it down in one gulp.
After finishing the soup, she handed the soup bowl to her mother, who nodded, picked up the bowl and went back to the kitchen.
Guo Ying murmured: "It's really hard work by nature. I have worked hard for my children all my life, and I won't enjoy the happiness after retirement."
After speaking, Guo Ying lay down on the bed tiredly, sleeping until dawn.
This was the case on the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day, but Guo Ying gradually felt something was wrong.
She always felt...someone was following her on the way home.
It is not accurate to say that she was following, because she turned her head several times abruptly, assuming a posture of kicking her balls, but there was no one behind her.
She once wondered if the follower hid behind the car, and spent a lot of time staying outside, spending a lot of effort. However, it turned out that she was thinking too much, and there was no one around.
However, Guo Ying still felt that someone was following her like a shadow, always following behind her, because she felt that someone was watching her quietly from behind.
Guo Ying has a good sixth sense. Since elementary school, she has been able to sense whether someone is peeking at her.
Every time she feels this way, someone must be watching her.
Afterwards, she asked her classmates, and she felt right.
Therefore, Guo Ying believed in her intuition. But this time, why was her intuition wrong
Guo Ying failed to find anyone again and again, and Guo Ying gave up, thinking that maybe she really felt wrong.
She felt that she must be getting older, so she was not as sharp as she was when she was a child.
As a mature adult, Guo Ying knew that she was not a beautiful woman and had no money, so it was impossible for her to be followed by idiots who coveted her.
After thinking about it for a while, Guo Ying felt that this hallucination might be due to being too tired from work recently.
So, Guo Ying decided to finish this month's class well, and when she gets paid next month, she must take time off and take a good rest when she has money.
Walking into the familiar corridor, Guo Ying saw the anti-theft door of Aunt 101's house, and couldn't help but feel palpitations.
After several days, the door of my aunt's house was still open. If she didn't pass by the first floor every morning and found that the door was closed, I would have thought that my aunt had forgotten to close the door because she was out on a trip.
In addition, the door was pitch black, but there were rustling noises inside, which seemed to be the sound of cards being drawn, which made her feel that the aunt's house was a bit weird. But Guo Ying was not a nosy person, so she didn't say a word, and tiptoed past the security door as before.
"Hoo-hoo-"
There was a faint sound of wind, and Guo Ying turned her head reflexively, only to find that the door of 102 was still open.
Not only the door of 102, but also the door of 103, which is opposite to my aunt, was not closed tightly, and a small crack was exposed, which surprised Guo Ying.
"Strange... why so many people forget to close the door recently? It's too careless."
Guo Ying went up to the second floor and found that the doors of the three families on the second floor were also open, with a small gap opened, as if it was left on purpose.
The strange behavior of the residents made Guo Ying's heart flutter, and she quickly jumped up to the fourth floor like a rabbit, opened the door and locked it in fear.
When she returned home with a pale face, she turned on the light in the bedroom for the first time. Seeing the warm light, she felt a little relieved, but she still couldn't help thinking about it.
At this time, my mother took the initiative to open the door, holding a bowl of soup in her hand just like the previous few days.
Seeing her mother, Guo Ying felt that she could rely on her, so she couldn't help saying: "Mom, let me tell you, I saw a terrible thing today! Many people in our unit building did not close their doors, leaving a gap on purpose. , not afraid of thieves and robbers entering. Mom, you have been at home, have you asked your neighbors what is going on? I don’t know, I feel very uneasy.”
"You are hungry, have a bowl of soup."
Her mother didn't answer her question, and Guo Ying didn't care. In fact, she just wanted to talk to someone to relieve her anxiety and panic.
Talking to her mother a few words to herself, Guo Ying felt much better in her heart, and she was not so scared anymore.
So she took the soup and drank it in a few gulps.
She thought the taste of the soup was average, but she still praised: "Mom, today's soup is just right, it was too hot a few days ago."
Mother took the bowl and left without closing the door.
After drinking the soup, Guo Ying lay on the bed. Because of her thoughts, she had a nightmare all night, and went to work the next day with dark circles under her eyes.
On the evening of the sixth day, Guo Ying yawned and walked across the street, passing the long sea of cars.
She walked around the corner and entered the corridor.
This time, she heard the very clear sound of shuffling the cards, coming from the aunt's house on the first floor.
However, the corridor was pitch-black, and there was no light in the wide-open Room 101.
The four of them were playing mahjong in the dark, and they felt something was wrong when they thought about it.
Guo Ying shivered, and rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, feeling that it was very painful.
