The apartment building where Wu Jinpeng lives is very dilapidated and was built at least thirty years ago.

Their family of three was crowded into a small house of 20 square meters. The toilet was next to the kitchen, and the room was separated by a curtain.

"It's a bit crowded, don't mind. I was planning to move to a bigger house next month." As soon as Wu Jinpeng opened the door, a big yellow dog came running over, wagging its tail. It was very friendly to Wu Jinpeng and Wu Sheng, but bared its teeth when it saw Chen Ge.

"Don't mind. Dahuang 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 Dahuang is a very docile dog." Wu Jinpeng scratched the hair on Dahuang's head and invited Chen Ge to enter the house.

There were no tiles on the cement floor, and there were a lot of things piled up there, but they were all tidied up in an orderly manner. Although it was crowded, it didn't feel dirty.

"Xiao Kun, there are guests coming. Go and pour two cups of tea!" Wu Jinpeng shouted into the house. A moment later, the curtain was drawn open, and a silly-looking young man walked out from behind the curtain holding an electric fan.

"fan!"

"Got it. Go and 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 aside, holding the broken fan tightly.

"fan!"

"Brat, I'll buy you a new fan when I get my salary." Wu Jinpeng looked at Chen Ge a little embarrassedly: "This is my younger brother. He had an accident when he was a child and suffered a head injury. You think he's stubborn, but he's actually very smart. When he was in elementary school, my brother's grades were very good and he never fell out of the top ten in the grade."

His son cannot speak and is a loner, and his younger brother has a head injury and is mentally retarded. Life is very difficult for Wu Jinpeng, but Wu Jinpeng is still proud of his family.

Chen Ge really appreciates people like this: "Brother Peng, I ordered some snacks on the way here. Let's eat and talk later. I have a lot of questions to ask you."

"Look at what you've done. If you come to my house, it must be because I invited you!"

"I am the one who is bothering you. This meal must be treated by me."

The takeaway arrived quickly. In addition to the food, Chen Ge also ordered a few bottles of wine.

The family sat on mats in the middle of the room. Although it was simple, it was particularly warm.

It seemed that Wu Sheng and Wu Jinpeng's younger brother had not eaten so many dishes for a long time, and they both devoured the food.

Seeing how happily they were eating, Wu Jinpeng's eyes softened a lot. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a big gulp.

"Brother Peng, is that photo on the cabinet a family photo of your family?" Chen Ge pointed to the photo frame on the wardrobe. There was a photo of three people in it. The young Wu Jinpeng stood in the center, with his younger brother on the left and a pregnant woman on the right.

"Yes, that woman is Wu Sheng's mother. She left after giving birth to Wu Sheng. But she is really a good woman. It's my fault that I can't keep her." Wu Jinpeng smiled and drank another glass of wine: "Brother, I'm sorry for making you spend money today. If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know. Isn't this how the idiom is used?"

"Brother Peng, since you are so forthright, I won't hide anything from you." Chen Ge clinked glasses with Wu Jinpeng again. He lowered his voice and said, "Actually, the child of my relative is a little different from other children. He has some special symptoms. I have been holding these words in my heart for a long time and I didn't know how to say them."

"Take your time, we are not in a hurry."

"You may not believe it if I tell you this." Chen Ge moved closer to Wu Jinpeng and said, "One time I went to bed late and accidentally saw a door standing next to the child's bed."

While saying this, Chen Ge's eyes were fixed on Wu Jinpeng.

He clearly saw that Wu Jinpeng was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said.

"I was terrified at the time. How could a door appear in the room out of nowhere?" Chen Ge frowned, as if he was still scared when he thought about it now: "I wanted to go over, but the child woke up before I could get close to him. After he woke up, the door disappeared. At first I thought it was my hallucination, but the door appeared again the next night!"

"Have you ever entered that door?" Wu Jinpeng's subconscious question made Chen Ge confirm again that the other party definitely knew the existence of the door.

Normally, when hearing such a strange thing, people would first question its authenticity. Even if they didn't question it, the questions they asked would be related to the door, and they wouldn't directly ask if anyone had entered the door.

Wu Jinpeng's question means that he not only knows the existence of the door, but may even have entered that door.

The two men stared at each other for a long time with their glasses. Chen Ge took a sip of wine to calm himself down, then shook his head: "I haven't 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. It took Wu Jinpeng a long time to react. He stood up and closed the doors and windows.

"Brother, come over here and talk." Wu Jinpeng waved at Chen Ge. They lifted the curtain and came to the other side of the room. There was a single bed and a mat on the floor. "Usually Wu Sheng sleeps on the bed, and my brother Wu Kun and I sleep in the living room. There is a curtain in the middle to block us."

"It was probably from a few days ago that Wu Sheng kept turning over when he slept at night, and it seemed that he couldn't sleep well. I didn't take it seriously at first, but one night at twelve o'clock, Wu Sheng started to turn over again. I looked over there and found a dark shadow behind the curtain!"

Wu Jinpeng waved his hands, very excited: "Just like what was shown on TV, I quietly walked over, opened the curtain and found Wu Sheng looking at me with his eyes open."

"I squatted there for several days in a row, and finally saw the true face of the black shadow. It was the same as what you said. It was a door, a door standing in the darkness."

"As long as the light is turned on or Wu Sheng wakes up, the door will disappear."

"Anyone who has a door like this in their home would be scared. I was ready the day before yesterday and wanted to go inside to take a look, but I couldn't push the door open. It was so annoying!"

Wu Jinpeng sat in the **: "I didn't dare to tell anyone about this, I was afraid they would think I was abnormal."

"You can't push it open by yourself, how about we try it together tonight?" Chen Ge's frown slowly relaxed: "My family happens to be in the same situation, how about our two families help each other and keep each other warm?"

"Of course I can, but I'm afraid I'll get into danger and put you in danger."

"It's okay. The two of us can take care of each other, which is better than facing danger alone."

"Brother, you are such a nice person. I don't know what to say."

"It should be." It was very dangerous behind the door. Chen Ge agreed to go with Wu Jinpeng, but the moment he entered the door, he would stop Wu Jinpeng and go in alone.

"Now that we have eaten and drunk enough, we can start in the evening."

The problem was solved very smoothly. Chen Ge now admired Wu Jinpeng more and more. He even considered that if the other party really had difficulties, he could come to work in his haunted house in the future.
