"Oh, I know you!" The old lady's tone suddenly became excited: "Xiao Zhang told me about you. I found your house for you. Haha, the landlord is also a good person. Knowing that your family is in difficult conditions, he also specially reduced the rent. What a good person, hehe."

When the old lady laughed, the laughter was like the screams of an old crow, making people's scalp numb.

I saw my dad scratching his scalp, and said with a forced smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I know this, Xiao Zhang told me. Look, you have helped our family so much and there is nothing to repay. This is my dear..." As he said that, my dad took out two hundred dollars prepared in advance from his pocket.

The old lady refused: "What are you helping? Take the money back. From now on, I will be close to you. I will be troubled by you, an old woman."

My dad is really a person who knows how to deal with human relationships and worldly affairs. The old lady may just be polite to him, but my dad put the money back on the spot.

The old lady didn't seem to care much, and just asked my dad: "Looking at your way, maybe something happened to your family, right?"

My dad immediately showed a very surprised expression: "How did you know?"

The old lady did not answer my father's question and said, "If I guess correctly, have you recruited that thing in the past two days?"

My dad pursed his lips and didn't say anything. The old lady smiled: "Haha, it seems that I'm talking about it. The place where you live is a lucky place, but after moving out of the landlord, no one has lived there for a long time. It's a very common thing to attract a few evil spirits and it's easy to deal with. But what should I do specifically? I have to wait until I go and see it before I know."

Isn’t this old lady obviously going to come to my house? Although I haven’t seen her yet, for some reason, I feel particularly disgusted with her and I am particularly reluctant to let her come to my house.

But my dad didn't think so. He seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He wanted the old lady to come to our house early. I heard my dad say, "Or, it's just right for the meal at home. Or, aunt, come to my house to eat, and by the way, see where there is something wrong with my house."

This time, the old lady did not refuse at all, said "it's fine", locked the door, and followed my dad out of the yard. When the old lady went out, I saw her from afar. In fact, there seemed to be no difference between her and the usual old lady, just that her gray hair looked messy.

I couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Why did my dad look like that when he first saw her?

While walking in the alley, my dad turned around and asked the old lady if she had a daughter. Why would you ask her to go home for dinner with her? The old lady smiled gloomy: "Haha, she has eaten it."

To me, the old lady's laughter was gloomy at that time.

After a while, my dad came back and the old lady followed my dad. When I first saw her, I knew why my dad had that expression just now.

The old lady's face was white, as white as a piece of paper, with deep wrinkles on her face, as if she was cut with a knife. What made people feel most uncomfortable was her eyes. At first glance, those eyes were particularly turbid, and even the whites of her eyes were yellow. But if you look at her for a while, you will find that although her pupils were very small, they were particularly dark, just like using a chisel to drill two very deep holes in her eyes, which were not bottom-out.

As soon as she entered the room, she stared at me with a slight smile, making my scalp numb.

At this time, my mother came out of the kitchen and was about to talk to my dad when she saw the old lady behind my dad, her face became very unnatural.

My dad quickly introduced to my mom: "This is Aunt Li, who lives downstairs in our house. Oh, yes, it's Mr. Li that I mentioned to you. If we can move here, she will calculate it for us."

My mother smiled at Old Lady Li reluctantly, and thought it was said hello, and then looked at my dad with a questioning look. The look seemed to be asking my dad: "Why didn't you go to find Lao Chai?"

My father explained that Mr. Li is a master. When he heard something happened to our family, he came to take a look and asked my mother to cook two more good dishes and greet them.

My mother didn't want to say anything more in front of Mrs. Li, but I could see that my mother had no good feelings for Mrs. Li. That night, my mother didn't prepare much food, and dinner was still as usual, and she fried two half-meat dishes with very little meat, cooked porridge, and heated steamed buns.

Actually, my mother had calculated that Lao Chaitou would come before and bought a roast chicken from the market, but that night, I didn't even see what the roast chicken looked like.

My father didn't say anything about this, and Old Mrs. Li didn't seem to care. She only drank a small bowl of porridge for this meal and didn't even eat steamed buns. And when she was eating, she would stare at me from time to time, as if what she wanted to eat was not the rice on the table, but my meat!

My parents saw Mrs. Li's behavior. My mother obviously became particularly disgusted when she looked at Mrs. Li, but there was a deep worry on my father's face. I knew what my father was worried about. The way Mrs. Li looked at me reminded him of Lao Chaitou again.

But when Lao Chai was staring at me, although his eyes were straight and he looked at me too much, I could always feel his eyes were very friendly, just like when my parents looked at me. But Old Mrs. Li was different. Her eyes always had a gloomy look, which made people shudder.

After dinner, Old Lady Li was taken to my bedroom by my dad. I followed my dad and saw Old Lady Li glance at the desk when she entered the room, and then her lips twitched violently.

On the desk, there were all the gadgets that Lao Chaitou gave me.

Afterwards, Old Mrs. Li took a quick look in my room and said to my dad: "It's nothing big, it's just that this place is not inhabited for many years, attracting some lonely ghosts to board. This kind of thing is very common and easy to deal with." As she said that, she took out a copper-yellow thing from her pants pocket and handed it to my dad.

My dad looked at the things in his hand and frowned.

It was a copper lock that looked old, with a human face on both sides of the lock. It was said to be a human face, but it actually didn't look very similar. Because of the age, the pattern on the lock was no longer clear, and the outline of the "face" could only be vaguely seen, but two very deep holes were chiseled with a chisel at the position of the eyes, which was particularly clear.

When I saw those eyes, I felt like I had an illusion, as if Mrs. Li was staring at me tightly. I thought, my dad must have had a similar feeling at that time.

I heard Mrs. Li say to my dad next to me, "You hang this copper lock on the door beam. From now on, evil spirits will not dare to enter your door. Okay, it's not too early, I'll go back first. If you have any problems in the future, just call me upstairs. Run upstairs and downstairs, it's a lot of trouble."

When my dad sent Old Lady Li out of the door, he saw that she was old and wanted to help her downstairs, but Old Lady Li refused and said that she was not that old and didn't need anyone to support her.

When she went downstairs, her steps were indeed very steady, and she didn't look like an elderly person at all. But for some reason, the posture of Old Mrs. Li always gave me a very stiff feeling.

I watched Mrs. Li walk away, my dad closed the door and found a hammer from the back balcony, intending to nail the copper lock to the door beam.

When my dad smashed nails on the door frame, my mom couldn't help but say, "Why do I always think that Mr. Li is quite evil?"

My dad nailed the nail and hung the copper lock on it, then turned his head and said to my mom, "I think this person is quite strange, but I'm just thinking about it. Maybe people like them are like this. Do you still remember the first time we met Lao Chaitou. At that time, I thought Lao Chaitou was also quite weird."

My mother looked at the copper lock on the door beam and said nothing.

I was also looking up at the copper lock. The moment it was hung on the door beam, I felt a very strange feeling, as if I suddenly became confused and drowsy. I remember that I seemed to want to say something to my mother before, but now I can't remember what to say.

That night, the sound of knocking on the window did not appear. I slept until dawn. When I woke up, I felt like I hadn't had enough sleep, and my eyelids were fighting constantly.

Not only me, but my dad looked sleepy after getting up. The first thing he did when he woke up every morning was to smoke, but that morning, I saw my dad holding the cigarette backward. He held a cigarette butt in his mouth and lit the filter with a lighter. And my dad didn't seem to notice something was wrong at all, so he sat on the bed, holding the cigarette in his right hand and the ashtray in his left hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

I knew he had taken the cigarette back, so I was too lazy to remind me. At that time, I felt very lazy, and I was too lazy to move, both my body and my brain.

At almost 7:30, my dad got rid of it and went out. When he first arrived outside the door, my dad turned around and asked me, "Are you okay last night?"

I didn't want to raise my eyelids, so I nodded randomly and said, "No."

My dad was relieved and hurried downstairs. I also heard my dad go downstairs alone, saying, "It seems that this Mr. Li is really effective."

After my dad left, I stayed alone on the sofa to watch TV. As for what was going on in the TV, I didn’t know, just staring at the TV and staring at it in a daze. I felt very tired after I moved my brain a little.

The sun is very good today, so I can only pull all the curtains on the balcony. For some reason, I don’t want to see the sun today. I always feel that the sun is particularly dazzling and it will be very hot when I am on my body.
