Sun Xiaohao took a taxi to the company warehouse. At this time, the van was already loaded with the goods that needed to be delivered, and the warehouse manager handed him the delivery order.
Sun Xiaohao did not drive to deliver the goods immediately. Instead, he chatted with the warehouse manager and asked about the situation in the community where he rented a house for Zhan Jinhua.
The warehouse manager is a local and should know something about these things.
The other party asked him, "That neighborhood isn't a good place. Are you asking about this because your family needs a house there?"
Sun Xiaohao responded: "I'm planning to buy a house here. The houses in the city are too expensive. The agent said that the houses there are cheaper, but the location is a bit out of the way. I don't understand, so I thought I'd ask you..."
The warehouse manager had a mysterious expression on his face: "Kid, it seems you really don't understand. The houses in that community are not for living..."
Sun Xiaohao was puzzled: "If they won't give it to the living, will they give it to the dead?"
The warehouse manager pursed his lips and nodded. "You guessed it right. It really is for the dead to live in. Many people buy those houses to store ashes."
Sun Xiaohao was shocked. In his two lifetimes, he had never heard of anyone buying a house specifically to store ashes.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, the other party said, "If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. It's unlucky enough to live next to a cemetery. The windows of those houses are sealed to prevent light from entering. Just imagine how creepy it would be to live in a place like that."
I want to buy a house for myself, no matter how cheap it is, I don’t want that house. People with weak bodies and timidity cannot suppress the negative energy there...”
The more Sun Xiaohao listened to the warehouse manager's description, the colder he felt. He had actually stayed in a house like that for a night. He didn't know if he had brought back any dirt.
Sun Xiaohao spent the day feeling anxious, especially since several of the delivery locations were in the county, in the opposite direction of Sun Aimin's hometown, so the goods there also had to be shipped from the warehouse in the city.
The cemetery is the only way to the county town. During the day, there are many cars on the road, but Sun Xiaohao still gets goose bumps when passing through the community.
At this moment, Sun Xiaohao was in a state of conflict. With his own safety and fortune at stake, he hoped the stories of ghosts and gods were nonsense. Yet, he also hoped that the supernatural events would come true for Zhan Jinhua.
During the day, Zhan Jinhua called Sun Xiaohao twice, urging him to bring her some food and drinks. Sun Xiaohao used the excuse of delivering goods to postpone the call.
After that, the phone calls stopped. Sun Xiaohao had taken Zhan Jinhua's phone charger with him when he left the house that morning, figuring that Zhan Jinhua's phone was out of battery.
Sun Xiaohao decided to leave Zhan Jinhua alone for a couple of days. He had waited so long, and now he could finally punish Zhan Jinhua without hesitation. He had to make good use of this opportunity.
After get off work in the evening, Sun Xiaohao had a simple meal outside, then hurried home, locked the door, hung the curtains, and turned on all the lights in the house before he dared to lie down on the bed.
As for Zhan Jinhua, she had been feeling restless and nervous for the past two days. Arriving in this remote neighborhood, she relaxed and had a good sleep. When she woke up, it was already noon.
When she packed her suitcase in the middle of the night, she put two buckets of instant noodles, two bags of biscuits, and a bag of melon seeds into it.
There were no kitchen utensils here, so I couldn't boil water or make instant noodles. During the day, I ate some dry biscuits and drank the only bottle of drink in a few gulps.
She kept waiting for Sun Xiaohao to come and deliver something to her after get off work in the evening, but it was getting darker and darker, and she still couldn't wait for Sun Xiaohao.
Her cell phone was out of battery, so she couldn't check the time, browse the web, or make phone calls. Zhan Jinhua had no idea what was going on outside.
At night, Zhan Jinhua looked out the window at the buildings across the street and found that not a single light was on. This was not only true for the building in front, but also for the building behind.
She arrived in the middle of the night on the first day and thought it was normal for the building to be dark since everyone had gone to bed.
But it was just getting dark, and the neighborhood was already in the same state as it was late at night. This was really weird. Could it be that she was the only resident in this neighborhood?
She wanted to find a secluded place to hide, but it didn't have to be so secluded, right?
During the day, she looked down from the upstairs and thought the environment here seemed quite nice. Furthermore, the top floor had a wide view, with lush green mountains just across the street. Looking at them for a while felt quite relaxing.
But at night, Zhan Jinhua always felt like she was alone in the wilderness. She felt so scared that she didn't even dare to breathe.
Like Sun Xiaohao, she turned on all the lights in the house.
Having done so many bad things, Zhan Jinhua was a bit superstitious. Otherwise, she wouldn't have believed the words of Master Yiyuan, the great liar.
Now that we are in such an environment, it is understandable that we are afraid of being haunted by evil spirits.
She didn't even want Sun Xiaohao to visit her late at night. It wasn't that she didn't want to trouble Sun Xiaohao, but she was really afraid that the noise at the door would scare her to have a heart attack.
Zhan Jinhua was lying on the bed, wrapped in a towel blanket, with her head tucked into the blanket. Her whole body was curled up, showing a state of self-protection.
She closed her eyes and tried hard to fall asleep, but she had slept too much during the day and had no desire to sleep at night.
In a state of high tension, Zhan Jinhua pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside. The autumn wind made the window sway slightly, making a sound, and Zhan Jinhua hid in the quilt and trembled with fear.
In the second half of the night, Zhan Jinhua finally fell into a drowsy sleep, but she was in a state of being half asleep and half awake, and her sleep was very uneasy.
I don’t know what time it was when Zhan Jinhua began to fall asleep.
