Chapter One Thousand and Nine New Employee Reservations
The apartment building where Wu Jinpeng lives is very dilapidated, at least thirty years ago.
The family of three crowded into a 20-square-meter hut, the toilet was next to the kitchen, and the room was separated by a curtain.
"It's a bit crowded, don't mind, I was planning to change to a bigger house next month." Just as Wu Jinpeng opened the door, a big yellow dog ran over wagging its tail. It was very fond of Wu Jinpeng and Wu Sheng. Intimate, but saw Chen Ge but bared his teeth.
"Don't mind, Rhubarb is a stray dog and has been chased away by many people, so he is not so enthusiastic about strangers, but after you get to know him well, you will find that Rhubarb is a very docile dog." Wu Jinpeng scratched the hair on the top of Rhubarb's head , inviting Chen Ge to enter the house.
The concrete floor was not paved with tiles, and there were a lot of things piled up, but they were all in good order. Although it was crowded, it didn't feel messy.
"Xiaokun, here are the guests, go and pour two cups of tea!" Wu Jinpeng shouted into the room, and after a while, the curtain was pulled open, and a young man who looked foolishly holding an electric fan came out of the curtain. Go out behind the curtain.
"fan!"
"Understood, you go to pour tea for the guests first, and I will fix the fan." Wu Jinpeng wanted to take the fan from the young man's arms, but the young man hid aside, holding the broken fan tightly.
"fan!"
"Stinky boy, I'll buy you a new fan when I get paid." Wu Jinpeng looked at Chen Ge with a little embarrassment: "This is my own brother. He had an accident when he was young and his head was injured. You look at him very stubborn. Very smart, my younger brother got very good grades in elementary school, and he never fell out of the top ten in his grade."
His son can't speak and has a withdrawn personality. His younger brother has suffered a head injury and is stupid. Life makes things difficult for Wu Jinpeng, but Wu Jinpeng is still proud of his family.
Chen Ge admires such people very much: "Brother Peng, I ordered some appetizers on the way here. Let's eat and talk later. I have a lot of questions to ask you."
"Look at what you've done, I must have invited you to come to my house!"
"I'm here to trouble you, this meal must be ordered by me."
The takeaway was delivered quickly. In addition to the meals, Chen Ge also ordered a few bottles of wine.
The whole family sat on the cushions in the middle of the room. Although it was simple, it was very warm.
Wu Sheng and Wu Jinpeng's younger brother didn't seem to have eaten so many dishes for a long time, and they devoured them hungrily.
Seeing the two of them eating so happily, Wu Jinpeng's eyes softened a lot. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
"Brother Peng, is that photo on the closet a group photo of your family?" Chen Ge pointed to the photo frame on the closet. Inside was a group photo of three people. Wu Jinpeng stood in the center when he was young. is a pregnant woman.
"Well, that woman is Wu Sheng's mother. She left after giving birth to Wu Sheng, but she is really a very good woman. I blame me for not being able to keep her." Wu Jinpeng smiled and drank another glass of wine: "Brother, I've made you spend money today. If you want to ask anything, just ask. Brother, I know everything, and I can talk endlessly. Is this how the idiom is used?"
"Brother Peng, you are so bold, so I won't hide it." Chen Ge clinked a glass with Wu Jinpeng again, and he lowered his voice: "Actually, the child of my relative's family is different from ordinary children. Special symptoms, these words have been held in my heart for a long time, and I still don’t know how to say them.”
"Speak slowly, we are not in a hurry."
"You might not believe it.
"Chen Ge came to Wu Jinpeng's side: "One time I slept late, and accidentally saw a door standing beside the child's bed. "
While saying this, Chen Ge's eyes were fixed on Wu Jinpeng.
He could clearly see that after Wu Jinpeng finished speaking, he was taken aback for a moment.
"I was terrified at the time. How could there be a door in the house for no reason?" Chen Ge frowned, as if he still felt scared when he thought about it now: "I wanted to go there, but I woke up before I got close to the child." No, the door disappeared when he woke up. At first I thought it was my hallucination, but the door reappeared the next night!"
"Have you ever entered that door?" Wu Jinpeng subconsciously asked Chen Ge to confirm again that the other party definitely knew the existence of the door.
Normally, when others hear such a weird thing, they will first question the authenticity. Even if you don't question it, the question you ask should be related to the door, and you won't directly ask if you have entered that door.
Wu Jinpeng's question showed that not only did he know the existence of the door, but he might even have entered that door.
The two men stared at each other for a while holding the wine glasses. Chen Ge took a sip of wine to calm himself down, then shook his head: "I haven't been in before."
"That's good." Wu Jinpeng breathed a sigh of relief. He picked up the wine glass, but before his lips touched the wine, he heard Chen Ge's voice.
"And you?"
The arm holding the wine glass froze in mid-air, and it took Wu Jinpeng a while to react. He got up and closed the door and window.
"Brother, come here and talk." Wu Jinpeng beckoned to Chen Ge, and they opened the curtain and came to the other side of the room, where there was a single bed with a mat on the floor: "Usually Wu Sheng sleeps on the bed. , My younger brother Wu Kun and I slept in the living room, and there was a curtain in between."
"Probably from a few days ago, Wu Sheng always turned over at night, as if he couldn't sleep well. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but one time at twelve o'clock in the evening, Wu Sheng started to turn over again, and I I glanced over there, only to find a dark shadow behind the curtain!"
Wu Jinpeng waved his hands, feeling very excited: "Just like the show on TV, I walked over quietly, and when I opened the curtain, I found that Wu Sheng was looking at me with his eyes open."
"I squatted for several days in a row, and finally saw the true face of that black shadow. It was the same as what you said. It was a door, a door standing in the darkness."
"Just turn on the light, or Wu Sheng wakes up, and the door will disappear."
"Anyone who has such a door in their home will definitely be scared. I made preparations the day before yesterday and wanted to go in and have a look inside, but I couldn't push that door open. It's very annoying!"
Wu Jinpeng sat on the bed: "I didn't dare to tell others about this, I was afraid they would think I was abnormal."
"You can't push it alone, why don't we try it together tonight?" Chen Ge's frowning brows slowly relaxed: "It happens that my family also has the same situation. Our two families help each other, how about keeping warm?"
"It's ok, but I'm afraid I'll hurt you if I run into danger."
"It's okay, it's better for the two of us to take care of each other than to face danger alone."
"Brother, you are so kind, I don't even know what to say."
"It should." The door is very dangerous, Chen Ge promised to be with Wu Jinpeng, but the moment he entered the door, he would stop Wu Jinpeng and go in alone.
"Let's eat and drink enough, let's do it at night."
One matter was resolved smoothly. Chen Ge now admires Wu Jinpeng more and more. He is even considering that if the other party really has difficulties, he can come to work in his haunted house in the future.
