After years of hard work, Xiaohong finally bought her own house, although it was small, but it was her own hard-earned
When a child looks at the renovated house, the happiness in his heart cannot overflow.
This is an old-fashioned residential building with two households on each floor, and Xiaohong lives on the 7th floor. Xiaohong, in addition to going to work, is that I read in my own house.
Today she worked overtime to go home late, he took the old elevator to the seventh floor, the elevator door just opened she saw an old grandmother standing at the elevator entrance, due to the dim light, xiaohong almost hit her when she came out of the elevator.
The grandmother slowly walked into the elevator, the grandmother kept her head down, just when the elevator door was about to close, Xiaohong suddenly saw the grandmother raise her head, a pair of eyes only white staring at her deadly, Xiaohong screamed and ran into her home.
Xiaohong thought she was another resident of the 7th floor, so it didn't take long to forget about it, and one month later, at midnight, Xiaohong was resting at home, and suddenly there was a knock at the door, and Xiaohong didn't think too much about it and got up to open the door. It turned out to be the grandmother from before.
Xiaohong asked, "Grandma, do you have anything to do?"
"Little girl, remember not to light candles at night!" The grandmother opened her mouth, she still bowed her head, this was the first time Xiaohong heard the grandmother's voice, and the hoarse voice made Xiaohong have a very uncomfortable feeling.
Just when Xiaohong was about to ask why, the grandmother returned to her house, Xiaohong looked at the grandmother's house, there was no light in the half-open door, Xiaohong understood that the grandmother was blind, and there was no difference in lighting the lamp. What he didn't understand was why he didn't let the candles light.
The next day, Xiaohong left work early just after dark, after returning home Xiaohong began to prepare dinner, eat steak in the evening, because today is her birthday, she has no friends, so she prepared a candlelight dinner for herself.
To set off the mood, she turned off the lights and lit a candle. The candle jumped and jumped, and the little red shadow also jumped. Just at this time someone knocked on the door, Xiaohong put down the knife and fork to open the door, after the door opened to see that it was the grandmother again, Xiaohong was about to ask the grandmother what was going on, the grandmother preemptively said and the voice was very loud and urgent, the hoarse voice made Xiaohong not hear very clearly, but it can still understand a little meaning, that is, "Why do you still light candles, didn't you tell you not to light candles", Xiaohong was very unhappy in her heart, thinking that I lit candles and what you have to do with you, of course, Xiaohong did not say it.
XiaoHong was also very angry in her heart, a good birthday was made by you this old lady is not in any mood, she was preparing to close the door and listen to the sound of "hiss" behind her, he looked back to see that the candle exploded, there was fire everywhere around the table, Xiaohong wanted to go to the fire, she felt that someone behind her pulled her, she turned her head to see that it was the old lady pulling her, the old lady had great strength, Xiaohong anxiously shouted: "What do you do, didn't you see the fire", the old lady was not in a hurry to say: "Do you think it is normal for the candle to explode, Is there so much more fire that candles can do?"
Xiaohong sounded as if it were true, just now she was too anxious to react, she was about to ask the reason, the fire suddenly extinguished, except for the broken candle on the table, there was no trace of being burned by the fire.
The grandmother said "Come, follow me, go to my place, I tell you the reason", at this time Xiaohong did not say anything more and followed the grandmother to her home, the grandmother turned on the light, Xiaohong looked at the decoration in the room, very beautiful and tidy, not like a blind old man living in the place.
"Aren't you wondering why I'm so clean here?" Come, sit down first and I'll tell you slowly. ”
Xiaohong sat on the sofa, the grandmother brought her a glass of water, and then sat on a rattan chair opposite Xiaohong, Xiaohong was surprised to find that although the old man could not see his eyes, his movements were very neat, as if he was a normal person.
"Little girl, you don't have to be strange, although I am blind, but it does not mean that I can't do anything, when you bought your house at that time, you did not wonder why it was so cheap, although this building is an old building, but the location is definitely a good location" The grandmother said calmly, Xiaohong looked at the grandmother with only the white eyes of the eyes and did not have the previous fear.
"Grandma, I was skeptical at first, but after all, I had some money saved, and I didn't have much to buy this house, and I really didn't think about it so much." Xiaohong said softly
"Oh, you young people, I understand, it is not easy to gain a foothold in such a city." However, things can't be done so hastily, and why don't you get a good idea of why your house is so cheap. Grandma continued
"Grandma, is there something wrong with this house?" Xiaohong was a little scared
The grandmother nodded and said, "Three years ago, a couple moved into the house you live in now, three months later there was a fire, the couple died in that house, and later the investigation learned that it was caused by the fire caused by the candles burning the curtains, since then this house has been strange, the people who moved here basically can't live here for a few days and then they moved away in a hurry, and then you moved in, I remind you to tell you not to light candles, why don't you listen?" Grandma said solemnly
"Grandma, what now?" I have bought the house. ”
"Move away as soon as possible."
"But..."
"Give me the house, but I don't have that much money and probably can't pay you that much."
"Nothing... It's okay Grandma, you have as many as you want, thank you. ”
…………
A few days later, the house moved in with new occupants.
