poor house

Some dim lights cut his hair carefully.

The room was very quiet, only the breathing and heartbeat of the two people could be heard, as well as the sound of scissors clicking.She was a little nervous, and she knew, so was he.

The ground was soon covered with thin strands of hair. She looked at him in front of him, who was slightly reddened but more refreshed, with satisfaction, and smiled shyly.

Since then, he and I have been husband and wife.What a beautiful thing.In the future, I will give birth to a child for him.There will be a happy family.So what if you don’t have a ring, what if you don’t have money, as long as two people can always guard each other, even if they live a poor life, they can still be happy.

Shaking off the broken hair on the bed sheet, she silently tidied up the hair on the floor.But he hugged him gently from behind, and before he realized what was going on, he saw him holding scissors and cutting off a strand of hair from his braid.Then he took his hair in his hand, and carefully and solemnly put two strands of hair together.

Even without culture, she knew what it meant.Biting her lower lip and laughing, she looked at the untangleable hair in his hands, took out a roll of red thread from the sewing kit, and tied the hair together carefully.

"Between hair and the king's knowledge, we must live together until we grow old."

This is a sentence her mother has recited to her since she was a child. She didn't understand what it meant when she was a child, but now she understands.The mother hopes that she can find a good home where she can be with her until she grows old.

Leaning on his shoulder and looking at the hair tied together by red thread in his hands, she smiled happily.Get married couples, get married couples.Since then, we have been married for life.

That night she had a very beautiful dream, dreaming that he was with her until they were very old.

When Wu Xie opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a strange studio.A woman in various poses stood in front of the dreamy curtain facing her. With flaming red lips and pale face, she looked like a zombie who had just sucked blood at first glance.

Standing there for a few seconds, Wu Xie suddenly realized where he was now.

I am dreaming now.It's just that I don't know if this is a real scene, or if I was pulled into a dream in my dream.

Frowning and staring at the woman who was still changing her movements according to the photographer's request, Wu Xie's heart sank instantly after noticing her big curly maroon wig.

What about Zhang Qiling, isn't he here?

Turning around and looking around at the huge studio, Wu Xie couldn't find Zhang Qiling anywhere except the staff with their IDs.Did I guess wrong?Didn't he come to find that aunt?Besides, isn't that aunt a human being? How did she manage to kill those women?

Looking at the woman in front of the camera from a distance, nothing strange happened at the moment, but Wu Xie never dared to take it lightly.Regardless of whether it is a real scene or a dream scene, Wu Xie's current ability is not enough to change anything.A little anxiously turned his head to look for Zhang Qiling's figure again, Wu Xie looked at the woman in front of the curtain hesitantly, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and ran out the door.

Now no one can see and feel himself, so the most urgent thing is to find Zhang Qiling first.

"Snapped--"

Before he realized what the sound meant just now, the studio that was originally illuminated by the spotlight like daylight turned into darkness in an instant.The girls screamed in fright at the sudden power outage, and the men yelled loudly, mixed with a few curses.

This is a fully enclosed studio, and the light sources on weekdays all come from electric lighting, and the air circulation depends on the air vents.In the past, even the trip would recover after a few seconds, but when everyone's eyes had almost adapted to the darkness of the room, the light still hadn't arrived.

Wu Xie, who hadn't had time to get out of the studio in the future, was also stopped in place by the sudden power outage. The pure darkness seemed to engulf the room, and without any light source, nothing could be seen.

"Shit!" The first man to react took out his phone and lit up the screen. The glowing light seemed to remind everyone, and they all took out their phones to light up their surroundings.In the darkness, more than a dozen faces illuminated by the mobile phone could be vaguely seen. The cold light blended into the thick darkness, making those faces look unspeakably weird.

"Ahhh!!" A shrill scream seemed to scare everyone to death before he was willing to do so. Wu Xie held his beating heart and looked in the direction the screamer was pointing at, only to see a lifeless, pale face. On the face, a pair of bright red lips are shocking.

"What a fart! That's a customer!" A certain male employee cursed fiercely, "I'm going to be scared to death by your screaming for nothing!"

The angry voice seemed to have finally diluted the fear a lot. Wu Xie, who was standing by the door, looked at the faces that seemed to be floating in the center of the house, and he still didn't let go of his heart.Basically, no matter how weak the lighting of the mobile phone is, it will not only be able to illuminate the face just enough.It's as if all other light is absorbed by this darkness, leaving only the brightness that can distinguish who is who.

But who is to distinguish?

"Probably because of a power outage in the block? Let's go out first. There is a spare small generator in the store." The male clerk just now walked in the direction of Wu Xie with his mobile phone, but the mobile phone in the direction turned could not illuminate the one in front of him anyway. dark. "Huh? Why can't I find the door?"

Wu Xie looked at the clerk's hand in silence, which was clearly less than five centimeters away from the doorknob, but he fumbled in the air as if he couldn't touch it or see it.The cold light of the mobile phone flickered around in front of Wu Xie's eyes, flickering on and off, making Wu Xie's eyes hurt.

Simply turning his head to look at the dark place in the distance, Wu Xiezheng was planning to take out his phone to try it himself, but he felt that there was a person standing where his gaze had just entered.

The entire studio was full of people and it wasn't surprising to see someone standing there, but Wu Xie still felt that the one just now was somewhat inexplicably inconsistent.Although it was only a moment when the light flashed by, Wu Xie seemed to see that person wearing light blue clothes.

Turning back to look at the man who still had only one face in front of him, and then at the people walking around in the distance, Wu Xie suddenly understood what was wrong.All the people holding mobile phones here, whether they are taking pictures of themselves or others, all Wu Xie can see is a face.

But at that moment just now, Wu Xie saw the whole body of that person.

"Have you found the door yet?" Another employee seemed to be dissatisfied with the efficiency of this employee, and shouted from a distance with a mobile phone, "Did you go in the wrong direction?"

"Fart! There is a door behind where I was standing just now. I walked straight and didn't turn around. How could I go in the wrong direction!"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you, let's take a look at where the door is. Why do I feel like my phone can't illuminate the things in front of me?"

"Me too. I searched for a long time just now, but I couldn't find where the door is."

Both of them noticed that something was wrong. People who had been scattered in all directions slowly gathered together, and the lights of a dozen or so mobile phones converged into a small light source.But still, it can only illuminate their own faces.

Too dim light is more disturbing than pure darkness, and fear spreads rapidly in this closed room like a virus.The original sweet and greasy smell of cosmetics in the air has been replaced by a faint smell of rancidity unconsciously. Without the air conditioner, the room temperature almost drops to zero in an instant, and it is bitingly cold.No one spoke, but everyone knew what the other was thinking.

"Let's count the number of people." It was the same male employee as before, but the anger was gone in his voice, only the fear he was trying to suppress was left.

Wu Xie who was standing by the door was no better than them. He tried to push the door but couldn't open it at all, and tried to open the door with the power of his dream, but it had no effect at all.The body seemed to already know that something had quietly mingled among the group of people, constantly sending out early warning signals to Wu Xie.

Identifying those faces one by one, Wu Xie also counted the number of people in his heart.Twelve staff members plus the female guest made a total of thirteen people.There are also thirteen mobile phones in a circle.Each ray of light corresponds to a face.

Did I get it wrong just now?

The cold sweat on his back hadn't subsided yet, Wu Xie looked at the thirteen people again, but suddenly realized that he didn't seem to see someone's face.A certain face painted with pale foundation and thick lipstick.

Oops.

"Eh? Where are the guests?" Some employees also noticed something was wrong and asked tremblingly.

"Twelve employees plus her is thirteen people, that's right." The girl who counted the number finally did not ask any questions, and shook her head when she said the correct number.

"Guest?" Several other employees who noticed something was wrong also looked left and right, but no one saw the pale face except the colleagues.

"But, it's really thirteen rays of light." The little girl gradually panicked after counting again. Everyone was holding a mobile phone, and it was indeed thirteen rays of light.But why, why only twelve faces? !

The employees who had finally settled down panicked again, and the faces full of fear in the darkness reflected lifeless light under the light of the mobile phone.Fear seems to be everyone's instinct when facing the unknown. The light that was originally gathered together slowly spread out again, and it is unknown who pointed it first.
