Chapter 4 Aunt Mei, Please Close Your Eyes
Chapter 4 Aunt Mei, Please Close Your Eyes
Xiao Bai is one of the few children in this public housing estate.
More importantly, the child often went to Aunt Mei's house to play and was almost completely unguarded around Aunt Mei.
His mother, Yang Feng, went mad because of the family's troubles. She wandered around the public housing estate with Xiao Bai like a lost soul, afraid to go home.
Her father was a beast in human form. In his early years, he took advantage of his position as a tutor to harass twin female students at home, but was accidentally killed in retaliation. After the twin sisters died, they turned into vengeful spirits and lingered in room 2442.
This is also the biggest reason why Yang Feng and her son dare not go home.
Thinking of Xiaobai's pitiful background, Aunt Mei finally hesitated.
However, when she looked again at the closed bathroom door, Aunt Mei's usually kind eyes gradually darkened:
Uncle Yan, Xiaobai
It's not my fault, it's really not my fault!
Blame it on you all for blocking Ah Dong's path to resurrection!
……
As Ah-you pondered his thoughts, he shuffled back in his slippers.
Noticing a figure jogging down the corridor, she quickly grabbed the person: "Xiaobai, are you going to Aunt Mei's house again?"
Little White with the bowl cut, holding the toy box in his hands, simply nodded silently.
Ayou gave him some candy: "That's perfect, I'll go with you to take a look."
The two, one adult and one child, arrived at Aunt Mei's house. Just as they were about to knock on the door, the door inside was suddenly pulled open a crack.
Aunt Mei's face, covered with many age spots, silently pressed against the door through the crack.
Xiao Bai was startled.
Ah You helped him up and explained, "Aunt Mei, I haven't seen you come down for several days. Are you alright?"
Aunt Mei paused for a moment before saying, "No, it's nothing. Ah Dong isn't feeling well; he's getting old and has some old ailments."
Ayou didn't pay much attention to her hesitant look, but instead glanced briefly into the room through the crack in the door.
The door gap was too narrow; I couldn't see anything.
Just then, Xiaobai suddenly squeezed open the door and slipped into the room.
"Xiaobai, don't disturb Uncle Dong's rest." Ayou said this, but his eyes took the opportunity to look at other places.
But Aunt Mei had made preparations in advance by Ah Jiu, and even the smell in the room was covered up.
Ayou didn't notice anything unusual, which only deepened his suspicions:
Strange, where does that peculiar medicinal oil smell come from?
Aunt Mei tightened her grip on the door slightly, then forced a seemingly kind smile onto her face: "It's alright, Xiao Bai is very sensible. If you like, please play here a little longer."
As she spoke, Aunt Mei stared intently at Ah You by the door.
Ah You didn't notice anything unusual in the room. Still preoccupied with Uncle Yan's disappearance, he nodded and left first.
As he turned away and his footsteps receded into the distance, a crack appeared in the old door of Aunt Mei's house, and a cloudy old eye stared intently at Ayou's departing figure through the crack.
A moment later, the door creaked shut.
Ah You originally intended to visit Uncle Yan and Ah Jiu, but just as he was about to go downstairs, he was greeted by Song Sheng coming up.
Accompanying Song Sheng was Ahao, the new tenant of room 2442.
Ah-hao is the male protagonist of "Seven Days of Rebirth from Zombie Life". Here, he is just a down-on-his-luck actor who is middle-aged, separated from his wife and children, and just wanted to spend the rest of his life quietly here.
However, he was rescued by Ayou and formed some connections with Yang Feng and Xiaobai.
Song Sheng and Ahao happened to run into each other. He was looking for someone to ask about Aunt Mei's house, and Ahao just happened to be passing by.
Although Ah-hao only recently moved here, he has memorized Aunt Mei's house number because Xiao-bai often stays at Aunt Mei's house.
Upon seeing Ah-you walking hurriedly, Ah-hao was taken aback: "What happened?"
Ah You's gaze passed over him and landed on Song Sheng: "Handsome, what are you doing here?"
Tsk, just in time.
Song Sheng smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Uncle, the main reason I came to Hong Kong this time was because some things happened to my elders. I also wanted to visit Uncle Yan, but he wasn't home, so I took care of my business first and visited Uncle Jiu."
The Taoist priest is currently performing an altar at home, so he asked me to borrow something from Aunt Mei's house.
"Hmm?" Ayou frowned.
He was also a last-generation Taoist priest, and belonged to the same lineage as Ajiu.
However, he was simply doing the right thing.
Hearing Song Sheng's words, Ayou guessed that it was something like a temple ceremony again, but why would he need to borrow something from Aunt Mei's house for such a thing?
Ah-you voiced his doubts.
Song Sheng: "The Taoist priest has given me instructions, but there are taboos I don't know if I can say them. I'm really sorry."
If Uncle wants to know, he might as well ask the Taoist priest himself.
At this point, Song Sheng, not wanting to be questioned any further, made an excuse and said, "By the way, I saw a white-haired child in the hallway earlier. The child was young, but he was all alone. I wanted to tell him to be careful, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Huh!" Ah-hao turned his head: "You mean Xiao-bai?"
Ayou thought for a moment and said, "Since you're going to Aunt Mei's house, you should be able to see her later. That child just went to Aunt Mei's place."
"..." Upon hearing this, Song Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted slightly.
Has Xiaobai already entered Aunt Mei's house?
Wouldn't that be like fast food being delivered to your door...?
Song Sheng immediately pressed, "When did you go?"
Ah-you blurted out instinctively, "Just now."
Song Sheng remained silent, but quickened his pace.
He already knew Aunt Mei's house number from Ah Hao, and originally planned to wait until no one was around before cleaning it up properly.
But Xiaobai had already delivered himself to their doorstep; this happened almost simultaneously with the zombie resurgence.
However, it's still afternoon, so Aunt Mei should wait until sunset to make her move on Little White.
But Song Sheng can't gamble.
His target was Aunt Meryl Streep, not zombies.
If the zombies are resurrected, he will be in danger when he takes action again.
Song Sheng walked faster and faster, and Ayou and Ahao, not knowing why, hurriedly followed.
Boom boom boom!
Song Sheng pulled open the iron gate and knocked on the door.
Two or three breaths passed
crunch--
Before Song Sheng could take action, the door slowly opened a crack.
A face marked with age spots was partially visible: "Who are you?"
Song Sheng looked past the other person and into the room.
Ah-hao kindly explained, "Aunt Mei, Uncle Jiu asked him to come over because he needs something from you."
He paused, then turned around and said, "Sir, this is Aunt Mei. You can ask her for whatever you need."
Aunt Mei's heart skipped a beat for no reason: "Ah Jiu? What does he want to borrow from you?"
Song Sheng didn't reply to her. Instead, he smiled and comforted her gently, "Don't be nervous, Aunt Mei. It's windy in the hallway. Hold onto the doorknob tightly."
"???" The group was somewhat puzzled.
As Song Sheng spoke, he also pushed Ah Hao aside. Then, as the pupils of the others widened, he suddenly twisted his waist and hips, turned around, and kicked him violently with his heel!
The kick landed precisely on the top and bottom of the doorknob.
Boom! ! !
Aunt Mei, who was desperately holding the door shut behind it, was suddenly kicked away!
The old-fashioned wooden door slammed against the back wall with a loud crash, sending large pieces of plaster falling to the ground.
The sound of tables and chairs tipping over could also be heard from inside.
Outside the door, the older Ayou and the middle-aged Ahao stood there, momentarily stunned.
Looking through the wide-open door, Song Sheng noticed Xiao Bai, who was still safe in the inner room, and his expression softened slightly.
Fortunately, they arrived in time.
He stood in front of the door, his silhouette in a suit and tie stretching out in the doorway, calmly looking down at the old woman who was groaning in pain on the ground after knocking over the tables and chairs.
Song Sheng's tone was chilling:
"Grandma, murderers should pay with their lives, and debtors should pay their debts!"
"You're getting on in years; I advise you to lay down your weapon."
"..." Aunt Mei's face was contorted with pain, and disbelief welled up in her eyes.
Young man, are you speaking human language?!
