Above the nine springs, people rob the earth and the spirit

Chapter 24 What’s behind the cabinet

He Jiahuan also looked at her grandma.

"You guys eat, I've eaten before, but you didn't even come out when I asked you at first."

Grandma He's words made He Jiahuan feel guilty for no reason.

Bai Tianqing nodded, continued to eat, and continued to ask as if smoothly: "Did we stay in the house for a long time? The two of us fell asleep and didn't pay much attention."

"Three hours, it's getting dark."

It gets dark relatively early in Jiuquan County, that is to say, it’s past seven o’clock now.

Has it only been three hours?
  She didn't ask any more questions, even though she felt that there should be a secret about Grandma He.

After eating, she and He Jiahuan helped clear away the dishes and then re-entered the room.

He Jiahuan was a little weak. She looked at the cabinet with lingering fear on her face.

She originally thought there was something in the cabinet, but according to the dream... Oh, it might not be a dream. Anyway, it was different from what she thought. There was probably nothing in the cabinet. The woman had been in the room from the beginning.

But what's going on with the movement in the closet?

It couldn’t have been Bai Baiqing before!
  Bai Tianqing had already moved quickly and opened the cabinet.

Inside the cabinet, there were two knives lying there, both of which belonged to her. The cabinet wall was intact and there was no opening that she had made.

Bai Tianqing picked up the knives, put one into his body and put the other back into his backpack. Then he waved to He Jiahuan and said, "Come here and lend a hand. Move the cabinet and let me take a look."

The empty cabinet was not heavy, and although both of them were a little weak, they could still move it.

But the back is indeed a wall.

He Jiahuan also raised his head and took a look. The wall was a bit mottled due to its age, but because of the cabinets, this wall was whiter.

"What's this? Wait while I look for my phone."

The light in the room was relatively dark, so He Jiahuan found her cell phone and turned on the flashlight to shine light on Bai Tianqing.

In fact, Bai Bai Qing felt that she couldn't see anything. She originally wanted to say no, just move the cabinet back, but He Jiahuan moved very quickly. When the bright light shone over, Bai Bai Qing noticed that the patch that originally looked mottled The walls don't seem to be peeling off due to moisture.

Bai Tianqing moved the cabinet farther away, took out the knife, and lightly tapped the wall with the handle of the knife.

There is an empty space.

Bai Tianqing then roughly shoveled off the wall with a knife, revealing a small hole.

He Jiahuan opened his eyes slightly and looked at the small hole.

Why is there a hole?
  What's on the other side of the hole? It seems to be a neighbor's house?

Her room is next to her neighbor, Grandpa Dou's house?
  What the hell?
  He Jiahuan had goosebumps all over his body and felt very cold.

Bai Tianqing looked at the hole. It wasn't actually that big, maybe half the size of her fist. She couldn't see anything when she looked inside. It was very dark over there, and there might have been something stuck there or a cabinet put there.

"Find a piece of paper to block it again." Bai Tianqing said.

She and He Jiahuan resealed the piece with tape and pushed the cabinet back.

Bai Tianqing felt that there were more problems. In just one day, it seemed that he had experienced two supernatural events, but neither of them seemed to be really over.

While helping He Jiahuan put the clothes back into the cabinet, she asked: "Your grandma... how did you get the scar on her neck?"

It looked like a piece had been torn off.

"I don't know. I asked about it when I was a kid, and she said she was scratched by a wild animal when she went out when she was young. She also told me not to leave the town if it was okay."

Bai Tianqing was thoughtful, always feeling that there were many secrets in Grandma He.

There were not many clothes. After collecting them, Bai Tianqing looked at the bed and slowly bent down.

He Jiahuan was extremely nervous and asked in a low voice: "Is there anything?"

"It's hard to tell. Give me your phone." Bai Tianqing said, lying on the ground and moving his upper body towards the bottom of the bed. He Jiahuan felt that he had never understood this top student. She was so courageous! ! !

Anyway, she doesn't dare to look under the bed in a short time, maybe even in this life. She must earn money to buy a bed without a bottom in the future!
  There was nothing under He Jiahuan's bed, but there was a lot of dust. Maybe it was always left behind when cleaning, but Bai Baiqing didn't care. She shined a flashlight on the entire bottom of the bed and found a pattern on He Jiahuan's bed board.

But the simplified pattern of an eyeball is drawn with red paint, with a circle in the middle and an outer ring of messy lines around it.
  Bai Tianqing came out from under the bed.

"How's it going? Do you have anything?"

Bai Tianqing shook his head and said, "Nothing."

She didn't tell He Jiahuan about the logo because she remembered what the player named Cancan said. There was an eye in the sky, which was the logo of the game company. So, was this pattern the logo of the game?

Moreover, Grandma He seems to have another problem, and He Jiahuan's neighbors seem to have secrets. In other words, the entire Jiuquan County seems to be shrouded in a huge mystery.

Therefore, for the time being, Bai Tianqing doesn't want to tell others because he is not sure of the consequences.

"It should be okay, I'll go back. Oh, right, where are the scissors your grandma gave you?" Bai Tianqing asked as he stood up and patted the ashes on his body.

"At this."

He Jiahuan took out a pair of scissors from under the pillow and was startled.

"Huh? The red cloth has faded?"

It was originally wrapped with bright red strips of cloth, but now it has faded and turned white, as if it had been there for a long time.

"Tell your grandma and see if you need to change it."

In any case, Bai Tianqing is temporarily inclined to the fact that Grandma He will at least not do anything to her granddaughter.

This pair of scissors may be useful.

"Okay, I'll take you back first, and I'll talk about it when you get back." He Jiahuan said.

"No, you should rest. You look very bad."

He Jiahuan was silent. She felt that Bai Tianqing must not have looked in the mirror.

"I'd better give it to you."

She persisted, and Bai Tianqing no longer refused.

When the two of them left He's house, Bai Baiqing glanced at the neighbor next door.

"Is this the one your room is next to?"

He Jiahuan's eyes were complicated and he said, "Well, it's Grandpa Dou whom I met downstairs."

Although the hole was blocked, and in the impression that the cabinet had always been there, He Jiahuan still felt very uncomfortable.

The two of them went all the way downstairs. There was no one under the locust tree. It was quite dark now and there were no people on the street.

In fact, Jiuquan County has always been quite deserted. After all, it is just a small county. Bai Tianqing suddenly thought that many people in the county have gone out to work, and there are many left-behind children in their class.

But...are you really going to work?

Or are they all dead? Or... Take He Jiahuan, maybe she doesn't have parents at all?
  After all, if everyone is just a string of data, wouldn’t it be possible to directly generate settings?

Just like she has never seen her father or heard from her mother.

"Are you going to take a bus? Which bus? There is a bus stop here for buses 1 and 4." He Jiahuan said from the side.

"Oh, Route 1, toward the train station." Bai Tianqing said smoothly.

"Then it's over here." He Jiahuan pointed to the bus stop sign in front and muttered: "Speaking of which, there are no trains at the train station, so why is it called a train station?"

Yes, the train station has long been abandoned.

But that is the starting station for all bus routes. In a small place, only bus No. 4 can travel the entire county.

　Hahaha I tried this illustration function, and the eyeballs were ticked casually, so let’s tentatively decide on this logo!
