The two-bedroom, one-living room structure is enough for a father and daughter to live in.
But there were a lot of unwashed dishes piled up in the living room, and they were even starting to get moldy.
There were also spots of unknown marks on the sofa.
The air was filled with a strange stench, like the pungent smell of some unprocessed meat that had rotted and fermented.
I feel so sorry for the little guy having such a father.
Ruan Mian searched the kitchen and every corner carefully but couldn't find the toy bear.
After the refrigerator was opened, the stench became even stronger and almost suffocating.
I guess the food is spoiled.
One of the bedroom doors was not locked.
The little girl suggested, tugging at the hem of her skirt.
"Could it be inside? Sister, go in and take a look."
There was an ordinary bed and wardrobe, and a large number of cardboard boxes piled up. She didn't know what was inside. The girl had an inexplicable fear of what was under the bed, so she didn't lie down to look.
After just a few glances, she saw that the wardrobe behind her had opened a crack, and the clothes hangers that were not hung properly fell down with a "ding-dong" sound.
Ruan Mian looked at the cabinet that didn't fit in with the room. It was so big that it was more than enough to hold two people.
Wondering if the toys are inside?
She approached slowly, not noticing the little girl watching from the doorway, her eyes filled with both anticipation and fear.
"Meow!"
There was a sharp cat meow outside the door.
"Xiaoju, why did you run out?"
Maybe she forgot to lock the balcony door. The girl bent down and held it in her arms, and it got angry again. It had happened several times.
Ruan Mian said to the little girl apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't find your doll."
“No…it’s okay.”
The little girl's tone was timid, as if she was extremely scared and was still trembling.
Her eyes were fixed on the cat, and she really wanted to touch it.
Ruan Mian half-knelt down with a smile on her face so that the little girl could touch her.
"Do you want to touch it? Come on."
Unexpectedly, the small palm was almost caught by the sharp claws before it even touched Xiaoju.
The little girl turned pale with fright and took several steps back.
Ruan Mian couldn't help but wonder, was Xiaoju so hostile to people before?
After comforting the little girl for a few words, she had to go home.
The wind that blew in was mixed with moisture and felt cool and refreshing.
According to the weather forecast, there will be a rainstorm tonight.
The sparse raindrops gradually became heavier, and the sycamore tree in the yard was hit with crackling sounds.
Thunder roared and lightning tore through the sky.
[News report: Several male bodies were found in a trash can in xx alley, their faces unrecognizable in such tragic ways. Citizens are advised to refrain from going out at night.]
Ruan Mian didn't dare to continue watching and turned off the TV.
She went to the balcony and brought the potted plants that were almost broken by the strong wind into the house.
There is also an old residential area opposite. The house on the same floor has no curtains. Not far away, you can see bright lights illuminating a couple kissing, looking extremely engrossed.
The woman was wearing a sexy dark miniskirt. She kicked off her high heels and rubbed her toes wrapped in stockings against the man's calves.
But the other person was standing in the dark and his appearance could not be seen. Judging from his outstretched arms, he was very tall.
Ruan Mian let things take their course afterwards. She didn't feel comfortable looking at it. Her clothes were wet by the slanting raindrops. She walked into the house holding the last pot of daisies in her hand.
The earlobes are slightly red.
She changed her clothes and took a shower, then came out again to check if the doors and windows were closed tightly, and accidentally glanced across.
But he saw a horrifying scene.
What should have been a tender moment of love turned into a horror scene.
The woman was lying naked on the floor, her slender body soaked in a pool of blood, and her neck was clearly visible in an abnormally twisted curve.
Is she dead?
The man was still hiding in the blind spot.
All I could see was a pair of slender hands reaching out, grabbing the woman's legs and dragging her away like garbage, leaving a long bloody mark on the floor.
At this time, Ruan Mian was completely confused. Suddenly, the man seemed to look in this direction.
She immediately covered her mouth and squatted down, swallowing her scream back into her stomach.
Did he see himself? It was raining so hard that he probably didn't.
Thunder and lightning, a dark rainy night.
It was as if I had become an eyewitness at the crime scene.
The girl decided to call the police, but the call was so creaky on the other end that she couldn't hear what was being said. Did the heavy rain affect the signal?
"Hello... Hello."
I can only hang up and wait until the rain stops.
She turned off the light and returned to the bedroom, her fingertips still trembling.
The doorbell rang.
"Hello, your takeaway has arrived."
The sound was not loud enough to be heard inside the house, so Ruan Mian covered her ears and pretended not to hear it.
Because I didn't order any takeout at all, he must have delivered it to the wrong person.
I thought if I ignored him, he would leave, but after a few minutes he knocked on the door.
An emotionless voice said, "Please open the door and get the takeaway."
I'm sure the girl is at home.
The girl tiptoed without making any noise and gently leaned over the peephole to look out.
It was a man, wearing an orange work suit and a peephole, with his face hanging down so that his face could not be seen.
Ruan Mian didn't want to respond at first, but judging from the look of things, if she didn't say anything, he would stay outside the door all night.
Looking again, his phone was still reporting, "We have received a new takeaway order for you, please process it promptly."
The delivery man seemed not to hear the reminder of the order and continued to stand by the door without leaving.
She pursed her lips and lowered her voice.
"It's not convenient for me to come out now, please put it at the door for me."
After saying this, the delivery man didn't respond and was very quiet.
Through the cat's eye, I saw that his head, which had been lowered, suddenly raised up, revealing a strange face with a deep scar on his neck.
The man smiled with satisfaction, as if he had found prey. The corners of his mouth stretched to his ears, looking strange and terrifying.
Sinister and sad words.
"I guessed right, you are at home."
Then the delivery man started to turn the door handle, and the old iron door creaked when he shook it, but fortunately it was locked.
Unexpectedly, the man opened the yellow insulated box at his feet, and there was no takeaway inside, but tools such as screwdrivers and pliers.
He began to dismantle the door.
A strong sense of fear swept over her, and the girl ran under the table in panic and hid.
I heard the door being pushed open, very close.
Mistaking it for her own home, she was so frightened that her breathing stopped.
no?
There was a sound of conversation in the corridor. The girl didn't dare to go closer to listen, she could only make out that it was two men.
"Bang."
One of them was pushed against the door and a fistfight ensued.
After a few minutes, the door was closed and silence returned.
When did people live across the street?
The scary delivery man may have left and I never heard any strange noises again.
Ruan Mian curled up under the table all night, holding the rolling pin in fear, and fell asleep in a daze.
My eyelids felt heavy and my body slept comfortably on the soft bed.
The girl sniffed and smelled the aroma of roast duck.
Muttered, "Zhou Shuo, you're back?"
There was something stuck to her forehead, and she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to pull it off.
"Mianmian, don't move. This is a fever-reducing patch. You have a fever."
