Hearing the knock on the door, Wen Aili paused and turned to look at the door with a strange expression, "Could it be that the naughty kid came back and knocked on the door again?"
Knock knock knock.
The knocking continued.
Wen Aili walked to the door, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She felt an indescribable sense of unease, which reminded her of the incident of the dead man's meal.
She didn't open the door, but continued to look out through the peephole to see what was going on outside.
This time there was still no one outside the door, but there was an extra bowl of rice on the ground outside the door.
The dish served was fried rice, which was placed in a white porcelain bowl with a pair of black chopsticks on top.
"ah!"
Wen Aili was so scared that her face turned pale. She took a step back and almost dropped the phone in her hand.
"Ellie, what's wrong with you?"
My best friend asked worriedly on the other end of the phone.
"That thing is here again!" Wen Aili said in horror, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to call Lao Yao and tell him to come home and stay with me!"
"What? You just said you wanted a divorce, why are you calling him now?"
Wen Aili didn't have time to explain to her best friend. The fear in her heart made her tremble all over.
She called Yao Shengwu and told him what had just happened.
Although the two had quarreled, they were husband and wife after all. Yao Shengwu was worried about her safety and did not care about what happened before. He hurried back home from the food stall.
Before Yao Shengwu returned home, Wen Aili didn't dare go out, and the bowl of rice was still there at the door.
When Yao Shengwu arrived at the door of his home, he saw the bowl of rice and smelled the scent of incense ash.
He squatted down and found three incense sticks inserted next to the white porcelain bowl. The incense had burned out and the ashes were all over the floor.
As he got closer, he could smell a rotten smell in the bowl of rice.
When Yao Shengwu thought of the first time Wen Aili saw a dark shadow eating, his face turned pale and he quickly opened the door and went into the house.
Wen Aili was fine, but she was very scared and burst into tears when she saw Yao Shengwu.
"Ghost, there is a ghost, there is a ghost in our house! It must be that mother and son who have returned. They didn't want us to be together anymore when they were alive, and they want to harm us when they are dead!"
Seeing that she mentioned his ex-wife and his dead son again, Yao Shengwu said impatiently, "The dead are the greatest. Can you please stop mentioning them? They are not that kind of people. They won't come to harm us."
"How do you know they won't! They are, that's the kind of people they are! Your son once told me to die when he was still alive!"
Wen Aili was very excited.
Yao Shengwu didn't want to continue arguing with her, so he said, "Calm down for a moment. I'll go to the property management and get the surveillance video of the corridor outside the door. After watching the video, you'll know what happened."
"No, don't go, I'm scared!"
Seeing that Yao Shengwu was going to leave her alone at home, she quickly pulled his clothes tighter and said, "I...Is it okay if I don't mention them? I'll go with you to find the property management."
Yao Shengwu glanced at her, his eyes a little tired, "Then let's go."
The two went out.
When Wen Aili saw the bowl of rice at the door, she trotted into the elevator.
After getting into the elevator and going downstairs, Wen Aili was still holding Yao Shengwu's arm, looking around in panic, always feeling that someone was watching her in the dark.
There was still some guilt in her eyes, because the death of Yao Shengwu's ex-wife and son was related to her.
After Yao Shengwu divorced his ex-wife, his son was awarded to his ex-wife. In order to support his son's education, his ex-wife found a job in a barbecue restaurant.
The barbecue restaurant was just two blocks away from their food stall, and Yao Shengwu's son was very well-behaved and always helped his mother with work in the barbecue restaurant.
Later, when Wen Aili learned that Yao Shengwu gave his ex-wife a considerable amount of alimony every month, she went to the barbecue restaurant to cause trouble for his ex-wife and asked her to return the money.
This is alimony awarded by the court, so naturally the ex-wife cannot give it to her. Moreover, the son born to the ex-wife is about to take the college entrance examination and needs money.
One morning, Wen Aili went to ask his ex-wife for money again, but found that the barbecue restaurant was on fire.
At that time, Wen Aili went out through the back door of the barbecue restaurant, which was connected to the kitchen. She happened to see her ex-wife about to run out with her son.
Wen Aili suddenly had a sudden inspiration and closed the back door, and even moved something outside to block it.
Thinking of what happened that day, Wen Aili's face gradually turned pale, and she muttered to herself, "I didn't mean to do it, I didn't mean to do it, don't come to me!"
Besides, even though she closed the back door, there was still the front door! They could still escape through the front door!
But Wen Aili didn't know that when she blocked the door, the fire was at its worst and many things in the store were burned. If she ran back to the front door from the back door, she would have to pass through the most raging fire. The mother and son died in the sea of fire.
Because of Wen Aili's behavior, the employees working in the kitchen of the barbecue restaurant were unable to escape, and most of the owner and employees of the barbecue restaurant died.
Not long after, the two arrived at the property.
Yao Shengwu asked the property management staff to check the surveillance footage in the corridor outside the door. They saw a man wearing a black sweatshirt and a black baseball cap coming to their door.
The man was wearing a mask, so I couldn't see his face at all. I could only see him knocking on the door several times, and then hiding after each knock.
After knocking on the door for the last time, he placed a bowl of fried rice on the ground, lit three incense sticks, and bowed before leaving.
"This is a human, not a ghost." Yao Shengwu looked at the surveillance video and frowned, saying, "Someone is deliberately playing a prank to scare you."
Wen Aili said, "But I did see a dark shadow eating the first meal."
"This must be his doing." Yao Shengwu thought for a moment and said, "Let's call the police and have them find him."
"No, you can't call the police!"
When it comes to calling the police, Wen Aili, who had calmed down, becomes extremely excited and nervous again.
She felt Yao Shengwu's gaze and stammered, "He... he must have left something dirty in our house, which is why I saw the black shadow eating. Let's find a master to deal with him. If we don't find a master, even if the police catch him, they won't be able to remove the dirty things in the house."
Yao Shengwu disagreed and said, "If we ask a master to deal with him, we have to know who he is. We don't even know who he is now."
After he finished speaking, he felt that Wen Aili looked a little strange, so he asked her, "Did you offend someone outside? Otherwise, why would someone harm you for no reason?"
Hearing this, Wen Aili lowered her head guiltily and remained silent, but suddenly, as if she thought of something crucial, she looked up at Yao Shengwu.
"I know, it must be that little bitch's doing! Otherwise, how would she know that I received the dead man's meal and the bloody disaster!"
