Chapter 6 Cellar
I don't know why I said the words "something happened", but what I just heard was indeed my father's cell phone ringtone. I'm sure there can't be a third person in this old house, so why did I Where will dad's cell phone be? Although it is rarely used, it is never far away from me. I have seen it before. His cell phone only contains my number. I can even understand why he carries it. He was holding the cell phone that was of no use to him, thinking that he could contact me whenever he had time.
I was sweating profusely. The uneasiness that had been lurking in my heart since the incident at Yanjing Hotel finally broke out.
"Oh, I'm so exhausted. What's wrong with you?" Although Lao Tan was reluctant, he still sat up. When he saw the expression on my face, he was stunned.
As soon as I explained the situation, Lao Tan stuck his head out and listened carefully.
"Could it be that your father is back?" Lao Tan looked at me.
"Impossible, the front and back doors are closed. We should know when he enters the house." Not only that, I also felt that the ringtone of the mobile phone was a bit strange. It sounded too thin, as if it was covered by something.
"Don't think blindly, maybe your dad left his cell phone at home."
Lao Tan's theory is also a possibility, but I still feel weird. "Okay, let's go out and take a look, and find the phone first."
Lao Tan smiled slyly, "You said I'm a coward, blah." This little bitch never forgets to ridicule me, but at this time I didn't have the time to talk nonsense with him.
The ringtone of the mobile phone seemed a bit strange in the silent old house. Lao Tan and I unconsciously slowed down our steps and relied on the light of the flashlight to follow the source of the sound.
The old furniture in the house became even more mottled and aged under the darkness and dim flashlight light. Lao Tan and I were very close, listening to the sounds and paying attention to the surroundings. I suddenly felt that the surroundings were so quiet and weird. Not even the chirping of cicadas that can be heard everywhere in the mountains.
When we walked into the main room, the ringtone of the mobile phone was obviously louder, but there was still a strange sense of distance.
"It seems to be in this room." I started to take a flashlight and look around.
"Hey, stop fucking around and make it look like a haunted house adventure. Let's light the candles."
As he spoke, Lao Tan turned around and took out the candles, lit three and placed them in the corner of the main room. As soon as the light came on, we were not so scared anymore. Due to time issues, the phone had automatically hung up, so I played it again. Once.
"It's strange. It sounds like it's in this room. Look, there's only one table and four benches here. Why can't you find it? Could it be up there?" Lao Tan clasped his head while looking towards He stepped back and began to look toward the rafters.
"The sound doesn't sound like it's coming from above. Besides, who would put their cell phone on the rafters?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard Lao Tan scream "Wow!" and then he completely disappeared in front of my eyes. I was startled, but when I stepped forward to look again, I immediately smiled.
"My grandma, your house was built during the tunnel war. Why is there such a big hole in the main room?" Old Tan rubbed his buttocks and couldn't stand up straight for a long time.
In my hometown, every house in the countryside has a cellar like this, which is used to store oranges or sweet potatoes. The reason why most of them are built in the main room is because the area is humid and the main room is the most ventilated place. Cellars are always built at the entrance of the main room. Under the corner on the left hand side and on the right side of the room are usually coffins for the elderly.
The cellar of my house was originally covered with a bamboo shed with a layer of oilcloth on top. It may have been too long and the bamboo shed was broken. Just now, Lao Tan just raised his head and stepped on it.
"Hey, Lao Tan, you have found your way underground. You really deserve our friendship and our loyalty." I squatted on top of the cellar and laughed at him, but suddenly I realized that my cellar is really deep.
Three or four meters.
"You're laughing at your sister." Lao Tan climbed up against the wall and stretched out his hand, meaning he wanted me to give him a hand.
The place was deep enough, and I could only reach in a little bit with my upper body before I could barely grab Lao Tan's hand.
"Damn it, don't stand where you are, move forward." I was struggling and wanted Lao Tan to take another step toward me.
"Your family has so many institutions, how dare I just walk away? Damn it, please try harder..."
Just like that, the two of them struggled there for a long time without success. At this time, I was also anxious, so I sat down on the edge of the cellar, kicked the stone wall of the cellar with my feet, and then put my hands in. Old Tan Xianfeng said
Bone, I should be able to get him out with just two hands.
Seeing how hard I worked, Lao Tan also tried his best to climb up. Just when we were about to succeed, suddenly, there was an extremely strange sound in the cellar.
"Ahem...ahem, ah...ahem..."
Lao Tan and I froze subconsciously. Then, both of us lost strength. Lao Tan saw that my hand was exhausted, and he immediately started to grab randomly. The bastard's hand was very precise at this time, and he grabbed my crotch directly.
I felt a pain in my upper and lower parts, and my two legs that were pedaling on the stone wall were no longer strong. Instantly, my vision went dark, and I fell directly from the top and fell on Lao Tan's body.
Falling from a height of three to four meters is no joke. Fortunately, there was Lao Tan underneath, otherwise I might have fainted directly. Lao Tan was fine, but I was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. We struggled under the cellar for a long time.
, and finally leaned against the wall.
As soon as my mind cleared, I immediately asked: "Did you hear that sound just now?"
Lao Tan originally wanted to quarrel with me, but after hearing what I said, he nodded quickly. It was pitch dark in the cellar, and the only light source in our hands was my mobile phone, but as Lao Tan said just now, the cellar is too big.
After taking pictures around, I found that this place was half the size of the main room above.
We didn't see anything, but Lao Tan and I didn't dare to relax at all. The sound just now clearly came from the cellar, and I'm very sure that the last two sounds were someone coughing softly.
.
"Your cellar is a bit too big, what should you do now?" Lao Tan looked at me.
"Let's go up first..." At this point, I suddenly became excited, "Hey, Lao Tan, do you think my dad's cell phone ringtone came from here?"
"You say that it's really possible."
In this case, dialing my father's mobile phone again is the best way to prove it. So, Lao Tan and I stared at the mobile phone screen, watching me press my father's number, and then, we couldn't help but look around.
of darkness.
"jingle......"
I don’t know why, but the moment I heard my dad’s cell phone ringing around the cellar, my whole body started to tremble.
"Really, he's really here." Old Tan also looked surprised.
But the strange thing is that the ringtone of the mobile phone still seemed to be covered by something, and it sounded hazy. After a few seconds, I began to distinguish the direction of the sound and moved forward step by step. Lao Tan followed me
Behind me, I could hear the clicking sound of his teeth as he trembled.
When we were children, this cellar was full of sweet potatoes. Liu Jiaer and I would often come and take a few away and bake them to eat. That scene was so familiar, but at this moment, this cellar made me feel scared. The more I grew up, the more
As I walked forward, I felt the surrounding temperature getting lower. Compared to the heat and humidity outside, the inside of the cellar was simply cold.
I stretched my phone far in front of me, thinking that I would run away if I saw something bad. In fear, the darkness ahead seemed to have no end. I had never experienced anything like this before.
I don't know how long I can hold on.
Probably because I was walking too slowly, the phone automatically hung up before I even touched the wall at the other end. I brought the phone to my face and wanted to dial again, but found that the phone was almost out of battery. So I wanted to dial again.
I asked Lao Tan first to see if he had his mobile phone, lest he would not even have the light later.
I turned my head, and as soon as a word came to my lips, I couldn't say it. It was as if the blood in my body was drained from the soles of my feet by something in an instant, and I froze in place.
The fluorescent light of the mobile phone illuminated Lao Tan's face, which looked particularly pale and gloomy. Lao Tan stood motionless, with his hands hanging straight down. What made me most horrified was that the corners of his mouth were split open, revealing a pale face.
His teeth... smiled at me. His smile was ghostly, as if it were frozen on the face of a corpse.
I only watched it for two seconds, and my whole body almost collapsed. I yelled "Ah!!", threw the phone away, stepped back, and then leaned on something and fell to the ground.
"Hey, Lao Yuan, what's wrong with you?" Lao Tan's tone was very surprised. He first picked up the mobile phone on the ground, then walked to me and squatted down.
"Don't come over here!" I yelled, subconsciously shrinking my body back.
"Holy shit...are you crazy?" Lao Tan looked at me inexplicably. At this time, I found that the expression on his face had returned to its original state, ugly and a bit hateful.
It also contains a bit of obscenity...it feels normal.
I watched him carefully, and after a while I began to wonder if I had seen it wrong just now. It was too dark here, and the fluorescent light on people's faces is inherently scary. I had been so nervous just now, so it was definitely possible that I had misjudged him.
of.
It wasn't until Lao Tan wanted to come over and slap me that I stood up from the ground and said, "It's okay, I, I'm too nervous."
"Your grandma, you scared me to death...Eh? What is this?" Lao Tan suddenly looked behind me in surprise.
When I turned around and looked at the phone's fluorescence, I was stunned.
