"That empty house, um... it's about a hundred square meters. When you enter, you see an empty yard, full of weeds, and no paved roads. It's just a room with no partitions. Ah, yes, there are no partitions. This is actually quite strange. It's such a big yard, half of it is open space, and half of it is a house. There are only pillars in the house and no walls... From the beginning, I had the impression that it was an empty house with no one living in it. The paint on both doors was peeled off and there was no door lock. , it bangs when the wind blows. By the way, that house has no doors or windows, it is a very... strange house. "

"What's in it?"

"There is nothing, it's just empty. There's not a table or a stool, so it's called an empty house."

"Nothing happened after you went in?"

"No."

"But you were in there for a long time."

"Ah, yes, I stayed there for a long time... Let me think about it... At that time... I seemed to have done something at that time, but it seemed... It didn't seem to have anything to do with the empty house. A group of us boys entered the house and saw nothing. , and there are no monsters... Oh, I remembered, it was my brother who said at that time that we should wait until the monsters appear at night and catch them. We were making traps at that time. In fact, they were just kids messing around, just digging a hole. , dig a hole or something.”

"Did you dig up anything?"

"No. We didn't have tools at that time, so we just dug a few times with bare hands. We didn't even make a hole, and we were just pulling weeds. Well... we were pulling weeds. At that time, someone quarreled with my brother, saying that he came up with blind ideas. I’m too exhausted to even make a trap.”

"Has no one thought about dealing with that empty house in the village? There must be a reason for staying there, right?"

"I really don't know."

"Do you remember the location of the empty house? This is the map of the village back then, and this is the factory map. Can you still find the location of the empty house?"

"Hiss—this picture only encloses a piece of land, and there are no houses in the village?"

"Yes, the records are not that detailed."

"This... this... my old house is probably here. To go to the empty house, walk this way, and then... just in this direction. I really can't find out the specifics."

"Okay, thank you, I'm bothering you again this time."

"nothing."

On July 22, 2015, Wang Feng, a member of the construction team building the factory, was contacted. Audio file 09120150722.wav.

"Here, this is the area. When we demolished the house, we demolished this area first. No one lives here. The yard is surrounded by an earthen wall. The house is made of wood and has wooden pillars inside. It is easy to demolish."

"As for this, the first phase of the factory project didn't include this area, right?"

"No. There was no phase one or two at that time. We just said we would build a factory, and then we would organize the villagers to move, and the construction team would also start working. Our team leader went around and saw that this house was empty, so we demolished it first. Come on, don't wait around. Ask the people in the village and they all say that the house will be demolished as soon as it is demolished, it doesn't matter. Later, the house was almost demolished, and when the factory was built, the drawings did not reach here, so there was nothing left."

“After the expansion, the park will be located here.”

"Yes."

"Were you also on the construction team when the park was built?"

"Yes, yes, but at that time we were just following people's orders, weeding and planting trees there."

"Did anything special happen during that process?"

"Something special? No."

"For example, something was dug out, or is there something going on in the construction team?"

"No, none."

On July 25, 2015, I searched historical documents and found a copy of the Jiao County government annals before the founding of the People's Republic of China, which records a criminal case involving a lynching of local villagers. The details are unknown.

Attached: Document photocopies.

On July 26, 2015, we received a call from Jiang Meifen, a former Jiao County villager and worker at the Red Star Factory. Telephone recording 201507260914.mp3.

"Xiao Liu, do you remember Aunt Jiang? We met in the park, and you later contacted me to ask about the empty house."

"Remember, of course I remember. Auntie, are you remembering something again?"

"That's not true. But I contacted someone for you, my aunt. She is an old man in the village and knows a lot of things!"

"Oh! That's great! Is it convenient to meet?"

"Okay, okay, but she is very old, so please be patient when you ask."

"Of course. Thank you so much!"

On July 30, 2015, I met Tong Jiang. Audio file 09120150730.wav.

"Xiao Fen said, do you want to ask about the village?"

"Yes. Mainly about the empty house and the strange things in the village."

"Something strange?"

"Like, haunted."

“…”

"Auntie, just tell me about the empty house. Whose house does that house belong to?"

"That place turned out to be the village's ancestral hall."

"ah?"

"Ancestral hall? How could this be abandoned and turned into an empty house?"

"It's probably because of the lynching."

"What? Young man, what do you mean by lynching?"

"Lynching in rural areas and other places will most likely take place in places like ancestral halls. We found out that there was a lynching in a village before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it was treated as a case by the government. Is that why the ancestral hall was abandoned? "

"Boss, have you thought of this before?"

"I just thought of it after hearing about the ancestral hall."

"Huh... that was the last lynching in the village. That woman, I call her Sister Hua, was married from a village outside. Her surname is not Hua, but she can weave beautiful flower bracelets for every little girl in our village. After that, he even took it to the city to sell it. That’s how we met her wild man. They called that wild man, haha! That man and Sister Hua had nothing to do with each other! At that time, it was the gangsters in the city who wanted to lure Sister Hua. , the man opened a shop nearby and came out to help Sister Hua, and they got to know each other. Sister Hua later went to the city to sell flowers, which was right in front of his shop, and those gangsters did not dare to come. The two of them kept It's nothing, but that beast doesn't believe it. That beast... is really not a thing! He is really not a thing!"

"Auntie, calm down and take care of yourself."

"Huh... Huh... Well... I'm fine. I have to tell you this, I have to tell it before I enter the coffin!"

"Auntie..."

"It's okay. That beast beat Sister Hua. Not even the beating. He went to the village chief, beat the gong, and called the whole village! They dragged Sister Hua all the way from his house to the ancestral hall. ... There was blood on that road... Blood all the way! Sister Hua screamed all the way, and then... she couldn't scream anymore... "

"Auntie, wipe your tears and calm down."

"Grandma Jiang, don't be anxious, speak slowly."

"Yeah. Huh... I followed behind, wanting to save Sister Hua, but there were so many people, and I didn't dare to go there. I didn't dare to go... They entered the ancestral hall, and there were people inside and outside. I knew that there were people behind the ancestral hall. There was a hole in the wall, and I could see inside, so I went around it. It was just dark at that time, and many people lit torches. They tied Sister Hua up like a pig to be killed. The beast held a knife and cut Sister Hua. The throat... the blood spurted out so high that I saw Sister Hua staring at me... just looking at me like that... "

"Aunt..."

"Then they started to take advantage of my sister."

"ah!"
