C89 (1/2)
At this time, the old lady turned her head and looked at us, smiling as she said, ”Being flirtatious and flirting is always the best. You guys reminded me of my wife and I when we were young.”
Hearing the grandma's words, Bai Nuxin's face immediately flushed red. She quickly threw my hand away and tried to explain, ”Grandmother, we're just normal friends …”
However, the old granny didn't seem to hear Bai Nanxin's words and continued, ”I still remember when my wife bought me a big cloth bag bear on my birthday. That cloth bag bear was as tall as me. Back then, people were so poor that it was hard to buy Bag Bear even if they had money. However, my wife did. Do you think he was powerful or not? That Bag Bear is still at home. I'll show it to you when I get there. ”
After several streets and several turns, we entered a very narrow and dark alley.
The alley was very damp and was filled with water, possibly due to the blockage in the sewers.
He walked forward and turned a corner. Then, he arrived at the old granny's house.
I looked around and saw that the houses were crowded, with only a bucket separating them.
The old granny's house was on the second floor of a new house. When she went up to the second floor, she could still smell a trace of formaldehyde when she opened the door.
Inside, I felt a chill that made me shiver. It was rather stuffy and stuffy outside, but it was very cold here. It was like a late autumn morning.
At this time, the old granny turned on the light and said, ”You won't feel cold, will you? ”Our family just moved in from the north. We're not used to the stuffy weather here, so we still have the air conditioner on.”
I said, ”Grandma, how much do you turn on the air conditioner?” I was going to say that it was freezing cold, but I thought it was rude, so I didn't say it.
The old granny said, ”It's not very low. It's only 20 degrees.”
I sweated one, twenty degrees...
As soon as Bai Nanxin entered, she looked around and did not say a word.
I also looked around and found that the furnishings of the house were pretty good. The living room, the sofa, the table, the television, there were only a few things arranged neatly. There were a few paintings on the wall, Chinese landscape paintings, and it was impossible to tell if they were real paintings by famous people like me, who had never even touched a brush before.
There were three other doors near the balcony, one of which led to the balcony, and the other to the kitchen. On both sides, there was a path that led to the bedroom. The three doors were all closed.
The only thing that made me uncomfortable in this living room was that the lights were too dim. I was thinking, could the lights in this old lady's house only be five watts? It was so dark.
It was dark, the air conditioner was so cold, and here, it was so quiet that I couldn't help but feel scared.
The old lady poured us a cup of tea, and we both said no, but she had to.
I held the teacup in my hand and looked inside. There weren't many tea leaves in the cup, but the color of the tea water was as red as blood.
I was stunned and muttered to myself, ”Why is the tea so red?”
Bai Nuxin said, ”Nonsense. If the black tea isn't red, why is it called black tea?”
Then the old woman said, ”I'll go and get the bear and show you. It's in my bedroom.” After saying that, the grandma opened the door on the right side of the balcony, walked in, and closed the door.
There was only Bai Nanxin and I left in the living room. I looked at her with her arms around her shoulders and asked, ”Hey, are you cold?”
”Aren't you talking nonsense?” This air conditioner is too big. 20 degrees. This place only has 20 degrees in winter. ”
Without a word, I took off my jacket and put it on her.
Bai Nuxin was stunned for a moment and then glanced at me. She mumbled a few words, but didn't utter a single word in the end.
I took a sip of black tea from the cup in both hands and pretended nothing had happened.
At this time, the old woman came out with a cloth sack bear about the height of a man. She said, ”Look, isn't the cloth bag bear that my wife gave me beautiful? I've always kept it. I can't bear to take it out. ”
The Bag Bear had lost some color. It was very old, but it was still in good condition. It could be seen that the old granny had preserved it well. It seemed that the old granny really loved the gift her old partner had given her.
The granny set the Bag Bear down on the sofa beside us.
Then I looked at the Bag Bear and saw that its eyes were almost exactly the same as the eyes of a real person. There were eyeballs, there were white eyes, and there seemed to be traces of blood on the whites of its eyes …
I looked into the eyes of the Bag Bear and was stunned. At this moment, the old granny suddenly said, ”You must be hungry. I'll go to the kitchen and get you some snacks to eat.”
Bai Nuxin and I hurriedly said no, but this old lady was very stubborn and insisted on going to the kitchen. She even said that the snacks she made were very delicious, and that her daughter-in-law would be extremely praising every time she ate them.
Bai Nuxin watched the old granny walk towards the balcony. She couldn't help but exhale and say, ”It seems like we've forgotten our business. We're here to investigate that 'Ghost Push Door'.”
I bitterly smiled and said, ”I don't think I really care about 'Ghost Push Door' anymore.”
