Strange talk live room

The entire second floor was dark.

There was silence.

It was like suddenly entering another world.

"Xiao Li, go quickly."

Lao Ding tugged on my clothes, looking very anxious.

"Uncle Ding, slow down, the lights in the corridor are so dark, don't fall." I deliberately slowed down my movements.

There is only a voice-activated light in the stairwell at the corner of the floor.

The light is very dim.

The stairs are inherently steep and narrow, making it easy to fall if you can't see clearly.

"It's okay, we're all used to it, Xiao Li, just keep an eye on yourself." Lao Ding held on to the wall and quickly went down the stairs step by step.

I looked at the dark second floor.

The old corridor seemed to have turned into a sinister mouth, sucking away all the vitality and devouring all vitality.

It's as quiet as a cemetery.

It is said that elderly people like to snore. Standing at the entrance of the corridor, I did not hear a sound of snoring.

The sound insulation effect of dormitories converted from old factories is not that good, right?

But it is impossible to say that when the lights are turned off, all the old people will die.

A strange smell accompanied by death was spreading throughout this old building.

"Xiao Li, why don't you come?"

Under the stairs, Lao Ding's anxious but restrained urging came.

"I'm coming."

I go down.

I happened to see Lao Ding looking up at the corner.

"Hurry up, Director Yang is going to curse if you don't go down." His simple face was full of nervousness.

He glanced behind me, suddenly trembled, and lowered his head as if he was afraid.

"Come down quickly!"

He went downstairs without waiting for me.

The stairs were steep and narrow, but he ran down them as fast as he could.

I looked behind me.

There was nothing but darkness.

What was he afraid of just now?

Return to the first floor.

Standing in the dimly lit corridor, Old Ding breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I came downstairs safely.

Go back to dorms.

My mouth was a little dry, so I asked Lao Ding for a paper cup to drink water from.

"Xiao Li, it's time to rest soon. Drink less water to avoid getting up at night."

I paused.

Director Yang also said something similar, try not to get up at night.

"It's okay. I'm going for a run at night, so I can't just be so thirsty." I deliberately drank two cups of hot water.

Old Ding looked at me, hesitated to speak, turned around and took the washbasin from the upper bunk, and pulled the towel off the rope next to it.

"Okay, stop drinking, let's go wash up. It's time to turn off the lights in the water room soon."

Without giving me a chance to ask, he handed me a new toothbrush and a towel with a tag on it.

"I see you didn't bring anything with you when you came today. These are the new towels and toothbrushes I just bought. They haven't been used yet. I'll lend them to you first."

"Thank you, Uncle Ding. It's not easy for you to save money. I'll give it to you later." I smiled and followed him to the water room.

The water room is at the end of the corridor, next to the toilet.

You can get hot water here, and there is also a pool for everyone to wash up and wash clothes.

The air is humid and the walls are peeling off badly.

The worn floor tiles were covered with a non-slip plastic mat.

Crash--

The tap was turned on.

The hot water flows into the washbasin, raising a mist of steam.

Lao Ding and I wash our faces and brush our teeth together.

Lao Ding was very fast and finished washing up in three or two minutes.

I haven't even finished brushing my teeth yet.

"Xiao Li, please move faster. Director Yang is going to be slow and unhappy. She is waiting for us to finish washing and turn off the lights." Lao Ding urged.

"This is not a military school, and we are not children. She even has to take care of this?" I said very dissatisfied.

"It's not even 8:30 now, right? It's still so early. Everyone has been busy all day, and they don't even give them this little free time?"

"Maybe it's to save power." Lao Ding answered vaguely.

"That's not true. Does this light bulb have 30 watts? How much electricity does it cost? Besides, it's not her who paid for it." I exaggerated.

"If nothing else, she is loyal to her boss. No matter what the boss says, she acts as if she has received an imperial edict."

Old Ding snorted disdainfully, and when he saw that I had finished washing, he said again: "Xiao Li, you have drank so much water first, do you want to go to the toilet?"

"Huh? I don't feel anything right now." I wiped my mouth with a towel.

Lao Ding advised: "It's better to go there, so you don't have to get up at night."

"Uncle Ding, there's no way to squeeze in." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay then." Lao Ding looked at me and didn't know what to say. He went to the toilet by himself.

I was waiting for him outside with the basin in hand.

No matter how clean the public toilet is, there is still a smell.

What's more, even the walls of the public toilets in this old house seem to be pickled.

An unpleasant smell spreads.

I wrinkled my nose and stood further away.

At this time, I was alone in the corridor.

The circuit in the old house is unstable, and the light bulbs flicker once or twice from time to time.

Except for Director Yang's office, which was still lit, all other rooms were closed and the lights turned off.

Quiet and dim.

It is normal for middle-aged and elderly people to go to bed early, especially after a busy day, but people here seem more like they are afraid of something.

Squeak——

The dormitory door next to the cafeteria suddenly opened a gap.

Under the dim light, a slightly older eye peeked out from the crack in the door.

His eyes cautiously glanced around and landed on me.

The door opened a little further, and it was Aunt Tao.

"Xiao Li, come here." Aunt Tao exposed half of her body and waved to me carefully.

I glanced at the toilet and walked quickly over.

"Aunt, haven't you rested yet?"

"Take this."

Aunt Tao secretly slipped something into me.

"Tonight, no matter what sound you hear, don't go out. Especially if Director Yang calls you, you can't agree."

"Director Yang also told me to try not to go out at night. How could she..." I didn't have time to ask why.

A broad figure appeared behind Aunt Tao.

"You're up late at night, what are you talking about? You don't know that you have to get up before dawn to prepare breakfast!"

Master Deng's voice was very rude, like a lecture.

"Our eldest son is about the same age as him, and I can't bear it." Aunt Tao whispered.

"I don't have a father or a mother, so why do you need to meddle in my own business?" Master Deng glared at her.

"Xiao Li, after a busy day, you should go to bed early." Then he closed the door indifferently.

I looked down at what Aunt Tao had given me in my hand.

It is a black feather, curved, like a small sickle.

What kind of bird feathers are these?

I felt something familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

"Xiao Li, didn't I ask you to wait for me? Why did you run there!" At this time, Lao Ding's voice came from the direction of the toilet.

I turned to look.

He was walking over quickly, complaining a little.

"I didn't see you when I came out. I thought you were gone. I was shocked."

"Sorry, the toilet smells a bit strong." I quietly put the feather into my pocket and smiled.

"It doesn't matter now. It will taste even worse later. If you get up at that time, I don't think you can stand it at all."

After Lao Ding finished speaking, the light in the toilet suddenly flashed.
