Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 616
Because of work, Luo Qiu's father settled in the city where he lived early, but at the same time, due to the residual system in some towns and unclear reasons in the countryside, Luo Qiu's house in his hometown has always been there.

It was a rather old brick two-story hut. The left and back sides were simply pasted with cement, and then the front side was pasted with small square tiles.

The ones next to them are all the earthen houses called Lao She. As for the newly built houses in the village, they are on the other side of the village road facing these old houses.

The young and the old are separated by a road of the times, not far away, but facing each other.

The old man insisted on going back to his old house.

Late autumn passed early, and the weather turned cold.The adults have no choice but to buy some small heaters, and they don’t want to really get rid of the cold air, just thinking that it’s a good thing to get rid of the humidity in the old house.

When Luo Qiu saw this grandma, she was half asleep, drinking the rice soup fed by her relatives, which is what the elderly can eat at present.

The one feeding the old man should be Uncle Luo Qiu's wife.The aunt said in front of the old man that Luo Qiu had returned.

The old man didn't respond, he just babbled and didn't know what to say, really wanted to say that he wanted to eat more.

Luo Qiu's uncle was smoking a cigarette outside the room door, looking very tired, "Luo Qiu, you also saw that she doesn't recognize anyone now. The doctor said that it's actually not a few days, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow , and even suddenly..."

He didn't continue talking, but took a puff of the cigarette that had been burnt to the end, and it almost reached the filter, before throwing it down, then lit a new one, looked at Luo Qiu and said: "If you want to go in and meet, go in. If you are tired, you can rest first."

Luo Qiu nodded and walked into the room.

He called this grandma Grandma Xiaochun... His aunt stepped aside for him, so he took a look at Grandma Xiaochun.

The aunt wiped the corners of Grandma Xiaochun’s mouth with a handkerchief. She wanted to eat, but it seemed that she couldn’t swallow. After a few years, it relapsed again, and now I have to spit out whatever I eat..."

Luo Qiu stretched out his hand to hold Grandma Xiaochun's palm, it was as cold as a piece of ice, even a little stiff, "Grandma Xiaochun, I'm Luo Qiu, do you remember me?"

The viscera of the body have been weakened to the extreme, and the lifespan has really come to an end... The oil is exhausted, and the natural cycle is changing on this grandma Xiaochun.

"She can't hear anything." Tang Shu's wife shook her head beside her.

"Let me come." Luo Qiu said softly, and brought the bowl of rice soup from her hand.

"Don't dirty you, she will vomit." The aunt suddenly said in a low voice.

But Grandma Xiaochun was able to swallow it this time.One bite at a time, the appearance gradually became satisfied.The aunt looked at this scene quite miraculously, and she couldn't remember how many times she hadn't seen the son of her husband's cousin.

Luo Zheng is also a very filial child, but he can't do this kind of kung fu.The aunt subconsciously compared the two children of the same generation.

The room seemed to become less dull without knowing it... Even though no one spoke, the feeling was different.

It feels like a magical child... Aunt subconsciously thought.

……

"It's too late, why don't you rest at my house tonight?"

After visiting for a while, the aunt pointed to the new house across the village road and said to Luo Qiu: "Your house has not been lived for a long time, and it is not good to clean up at night. These days are not long, so you can simply stay at the aunt's house for a while." Well, my family, how good it is to talk."

Luo Qiu glanced at the new house across the street. In fact, the lights had been turned on early, and people could be seen walking around inside.Just didn't see anyone coming.

In this kind of village, every house closes its doors at night, and the lights inside the houses are very bright, even able to illuminate the roads of the village, but at the same time it is very quiet.

Even if there are guard dogs, the dogs are just wandering around with their heads down, or squatting on the ground, not knowing what they are looking at.

People in the countryside or old people say that dogs can see more things than people.

He said: "It's okay, I can do whatever I want."

"That's fine. If there is any inconvenience, just come and knock on the door." Uncle Tang nodded directly at this moment, and then gave Luo Qiu a flashlight, "But the switch is broken, and it has never been repaired. The electricity should not work. The water should still work...or you should stay at your uncle's house."

"I'm not afraid of the dark." Luo Qiu said with a smile.

"It's not black, it's..." Aunt hesitated to speak, but she was stared at by uncle.

But Auntie's words were all about this, Tang Shu could only stare, and said helplessly in front of Luo Qiu: "Your house is said to be a bit unclean."

"It's not normal that I haven't lived here for so long, so it's not clean." Luo Qiu said with a smile.

"It's not this!" Uncle Tang lowered his voice, "They say it's haunted!"

"Where is the switch? I kind of forgot." Luo Qiu asked suddenly.

Uncle Tang was stunned, and the flashlight shone over, which was under the eaves of the house.Luo Qiu walked over, opened the cover, and pushed the switch up, and the small light bulb in front of the house immediately lit up.

"Strange, it's obviously broken?" The uncle looked at his wife in surprise, frowned and said, "I tried it, but it didn't work at all?"

Luo Qiu said: "If there is light, it should be clean."

"Okay then..." Uncle Tang and Auntie didn't push any further.

From their point of view, a kid like Luo Qiu who grew up in a big city naturally wouldn't believe anything he said... Of course they didn't really believe in it.

It's just that fear is born, and after a long time, there will always be some things that are taboo... Besides, the village is really quiet.

They quickly returned to Xiaochun's grandma's room, pushed the door and walked in. The pace was a bit fast, and the speed of closing the door was also a bit fast.

Luo Qiu shook his head, opened the door, and called Ren Ziling.

Ren Ziling asked with concern: "How is it? Did your relatives bully you? I remember that there was a certain uncle in your family, who was very rude and spoke very badly!"

Luo Qiu said: "What strange things have you imagined?"

"Tsk, conscience is like a dog's lung." Ren Ziling muttered, and then said: "By the way, what happened to that grandma Xiaochun in my hometown?"

Luo Qiu opened the door and turned on the light while talking: "It's almost there, I heard it's just a matter of these two days."

"Life and death are impermanent." Ren Ziling sighed.

Luo Qiu said: "The house here, why hasn't the power cut off for so many years?"

Ren Ziling said casually: "Oh, when your father was still around, he had been paying the electricity bill. Anyway, no one lived there, and the electricity bill didn't cost much, so I didn't stop. Sigh, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, let me fix the room first, let's not talk about it." He said while looking at the ceiling above his head.

Some very subtle voices are coming from upstairs... Ordinary people probably can't hear them.

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself, I'll be working overtime for a while before leaving."

"Hmm... don't eat instant noodles." Luo Qiu said one last sentence, and then turned off the phone.

Luo Qiu closed the door behind him, still staring at the ceiling above... Although the light was turned on, there were quite a few cobwebs hanging in the room where no one lived in it for a long time.

Entering the door is the living room, and next to the living room is the stairs to the second floor.

When Luo Qiu climbed the stairs and came upstairs, he also turned on the lights in the corridor here.

There are only three rooms upstairs, one is the house of his grandparents who passed away early, one is where his father lived when he was a child, and the other is for storing some sundries.

At the end is the utility room, judging from the sound heard downstairs, the location is in this room at the end.

Luo Qiu walked to the door of the utility room, put his hand on the lock of the room, he didn't seem to intend to twist it, but stopped here.

The lights in this corridor may have been useless for too long, perhaps due to poor contact, at this moment they flicker on and off, they won't be cut off suddenly, but they will turn on and off, and there will be a whistling sound of electric current.

After a while, Luo Qiu withdrew his hand, didn't go directly to open the door, but just knocked lightly on the door - dong dong, dong dong.

dong dong.

The door lock of the room was suddenly twisted, and there was only a creaking sound, and the door opened a small gap...
