The apartment building where Wu Jinpeng lives is very dilapidated, at least a building from thirty years ago.
Their family of three crowded into a 20-square-meter hut, the toilet was next to the kitchen, and the room was separated by a curtain.
"It's a little crowded, don't mind, I was going to wait for next month to change to a bigger house." As soon as Wu Jinpeng opened the door, a big yellow dog ran over with its tail wagging. It was very fond of Wu Jinpeng and Wu Sheng. Intimacy, but when he saw Chen Ge, he bared his teeth.
"Don't mind, Rhubarb is a stray dog and has been driven away by many people, so he is not so enthusiastic towards strangers, but after getting to know him, you will find that Rhubarb is a very docile dog." Wu Jinpeng scratched the fur on the top of Rhubarb's head. , invite Chen Ge into the house.
There are no tiles on the concrete floor, and many things are piled up, but they are well organized. Although it is crowded, it does not give people a messy feeling.
"Xiao Kun, here are the guests, go and pour two cups of tea!" Wu Jinpeng shouted towards the house. After a while, the curtain was pulled open, and a young man who looked silly was holding an electric fan from the cloth Go out behind the curtain.
"fan!"
"Understood, you go to pour tea for the guests first, and I'll fix the fan." Wu Jinpeng wanted to take the fan from the young man's arms, but the young man hid to the side, clinging to the broken fan.
"fan!"
"Stinky boy, I'll buy you a new fan when the salary is paid." Wu Jinpeng looked at Chen Ge a little embarrassed: "This is my brother, who had an accident when he was a child and suffered a head injury. You look at him very stubborn, but he is actually a man. Very smart, my younger brother did very well in elementary school, and he never fell out of the top ten."
His son can't speak, he is withdrawn, his younger brother has a head injury, and he is stupid. Life has made things difficult for Wu Jinpeng in every way, but Wu Jinpeng is still proud of his family.
Chen Ge admires such people very much: "Brother Peng, I ordered some snacks on the way here. Let's eat and chat later. I have a lot of questions to ask you."
"Look at what you do, I must invite you when you come to my house!"
"I'm here to trouble you, I have to invite you for this meal."
The takeaway was delivered quickly, and in addition to the meals, Chen Ge also ordered a few bottles of wine.
The family sat on the cushion in the middle of the room. Although it was simple, it was extraordinarily warm.
Wu Sheng and Wu Jinpeng's younger brother didn't seem to have eaten so many dishes for a long time, and they devoured them.
Seeing them eating so happily, Wu Jinpeng's eyes softened a lot. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
"Brother Peng, is the photo on the cabinet a group photo of your family?" Chen Ge pointed to the photo frame on the wardrobe, which contained a group photo of three people. Wu Jinpeng stood in the center when he was young, with his younger brother on the left and his brother on the right. is a pregnant woman.
"Well, that woman is Wu Sheng's mother. She left after giving birth to Wu Sheng, but she is really a very good woman. I blame me for not being able to keep her." Wu Jinpeng smiled and drank another glass of wine: "Brother, I've cost you money today. Feel free to ask anything you want. Brother, I know everything I can say. Is that how this idiom is used?"
"Brother Peng, you are so forthright, so I won't hide it." Chen Ge had another cup with Wu Jinpeng, and he lowered his voice: "Actually, the child of my relative's family is not the same as ordinary children, and he still has some comparisons. Special symptoms, I have held back these words in my heart for a long time, and I have never known how to say them."
"Speak slowly, we are not in a hurry."
"You may not believe it when you say it." Chen Ge leaned over to Wu Jinpeng: "Once I slept late, I accidentally saw a door standing beside the child's bed."
When saying this, Chen Ge's eyes kept staring at Wu Jinpeng.
He could clearly see that Wu Jinpeng was stunned after hearing what he said.
"I was terrified at the time, how could there be a door in the room for no reason?" Chen Ge frowned, as if he was still frightened when he thought about it now: "I wanted to go there, but I woke up before I was close to the child. Yes, the door disappeared when he woke up. I thought it was my hallucination at first, but the door reappeared the next night!"
"Have you ever entered that door?" Wu Jinpeng's subconscious question made Chen Ge confirm again that the other party absolutely knew the existence of the door.
Normally, when others hear such a bizarre thing, they will first question the authenticity. Even if you don't question it, the question you ask should be related to the door, and you won't directly ask if you have entered that door.
Wu Jinpeng asked this way, indicating that he not only knew the existence of the door, but he might even have entered it.
The two men stared at each other for a while with the wine glasses in their hands. Chen Ge took a sip of wine to shock himself, then shook his head: "I've never been in there."
"That's good." Wu Jinpeng breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the wine glass, but before his lips touched the wine, he heard Chen Ge's voice.
"And you?"
The arm holding the wine glass froze in mid-air, and it took Wu Jinpeng a while to react.
"Brother, come here and talk." Wu Jinpeng beckoned to Chen Ge, they lifted the curtain and came to the other side of the room, where there was a single bed and a mat on the ground: "Usually Wu Sheng sleeps in bed. , My brother Wu Kun and I sleep in the living room with a curtain in the middle."
"Probably from a few days ago, Wu Sheng always turned over at night, as if he couldn't sleep well. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but once at twelve o'clock in the evening, Wu Sheng started to roll over again, and I just Glancing over there, I found a dark shadow behind the curtain!"
Wu Jinpeng waved his hands and was very excited: "Just like in the TV show, I walked over quietly and opened the curtain to find Wu Sheng looking at me with his eyes open."
"I squatted for several days in a row, and finally I saw the true face of the shadow of Mount Lu. It was the same as what you said. It was a door, a door standing in the dark."
"As long as the light is turned on, or Wu Sheng wakes up, the door will disappear."
"Whoever has such a door at home will definitely be scared. I was ready the day before yesterday and wanted to go in and have a look, but I couldn't open that door, it was very annoying!"
Wu Jinpeng sat on the bed: "I don't dare to tell others about this, I'm afraid they think I'm abnormal."
"You can't push it alone, why don't we try it together tonight?" Chen Ge's frowning brows slowly stretched out: "It happens that my family is also in this situation. Let's help each other, how about hugging each other for warmth?"
"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid that danger will implicate you."
"It's okay, the two of us take care of each other, it's better than facing danger alone."
"Brother, you are such a nice person, I don't even know what to say."
"It should be." It was dangerous behind the door, Chen Ge promised to be with Wu Jinpeng, but the moment he entered the door, he would stop Wu Jinpeng and go in alone.
"Let's eat and drink enough, let's start at night."
One thing was solved smoothly. Chen Ge now appreciates Wu Jinpeng more and more. He is even considering that if the other party really has difficulties, he can come to work in his haunted house in the future.
