The crow screamed louder and shriller. Although it was not too late and there were still a few people wandering around in the community, Li Manshui was still startled into a cold sweat.

"This atmosphere really resembles a horror movie." Li Manshui thought with a wry smile.

Following the crow's call, Xu Jian walked around the community, and finally came to a quite remote corner.

"Is there such a place in your community?" Xu Jian pointed in front of him.

In the middle between the rightmost house and the wall, there is a gap that can only accommodate one person, and crows are constantly calling from inside.Li Manshui was also puzzled: "I have lived here for so many years, and I never knew or noticed such a place."

"Go in and have a look?" After Xu Jian finished speaking, he went in first, and Li Manshui had to follow.

Behind the gap is a small open space, in front of which stands a whole row of black iron railings, covered with green vines.Through the vine man, Xu Jian saw a thin drainage ditch. Behind the drainage ditch was a small black two-storey building with a small well downstairs.

Xu Jian looked up at the side of the small black building. It was a small bamboo grove with a crow standing on it.

The crow seemed to know that he had been found, and croaked a few more times before flapping its wings and flying away.

Xu Jian noticed that there were white dots on the bamboo branch where the crow was resting.

"When the bamboo blooms, the dead destroy their homes?" Xu Jian couldn't help but think of this sentence.

Li Manshui looked at Xu Jian's expression and had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Xu Jian said: "I think we should go inside and have a look, do you know where else to get in here?"

Li Manshui shook his head: "I heard from my parents that our community was an old house more than 20 years ago. Later, real estate developers bought it and built new ones, but I never knew there was such a place, maybe It was an old house back then, but I don’t know why it was not pushed down. The iron bars here are all connected, there is no vacancy, if you want to go in, you have to turn it in.”

"You wait for me here." Xu Jian said, stepped on the flower bed, grabbed the iron railing with both hands, and was about to climb up.

Li Manshui was most dissatisfied with her being like this, who was in danger alone: ​​"Why are you talking to yourself, I will go with you, the house feels wrong at first sight, what should you do if something happens to you alone?"

Xu Jian was agile, and she had turned over to the other half of the iron fence in just a few words. She looked at Li Manshui through the iron fence, a little helpless: "Are you really going to follow? Actually, I was afraid that you would not turn over. "

Li Manshui was very unconvinced, and wanted to climb up like Xu Jian, but it turned out that he really had no talent in this area, and he slid down again after climbing two times.

"You just wait here for me, it's okay, I have a measure." Seeing that she really couldn't climb up, Xu Jian could only explain a few words, and then walked towards the small black building.

It seemed that no one had lived in that building for a long time. Xu Jian gently kicked open the half-covered door with his foot, and a thick layer of dust immediately fell down, staining his shoes, but Xu Jian was not in the mood to care about it for the time being. , directly into the house.

The furniture and appliances inside were all decades ago. Xu Jian remembered that the last time he saw this kind of small black and white TV was when he was about four years old. The uncle who sold things on the roadside had this kind of TV.

The ceiling and the corners of the floor were covered with cobwebs, and things were piled up in a mess, blocking her way forward.

"Clap."

something fell.

Xu Jian looked back and saw that a photo frame had fallen on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

She bent down to pick it up, blowing away the thin dust on it, revealing a yellowed photo.

The two little girls who looked almost alike leaned together, smiling sweetly.

"Could it be that woman's sister and her childhood?" Xu Jian couldn't help guessing.

She took the photo album and looked around for another week, trying to see what else she could take away.

"Plop!" The sound of something falling into the water suddenly came from outside.

Xu Jian hurriedly went out to check, the only thing with water here was the well!

Standing in front of the well, Xu Jian slightly probed his head. Under the moonlight, the water was calm and without ripples, as if the sound of falling into the water just now was fake.

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time," Xu Jian felt uneasy in his heart, took two steps back to look at the house again, and left without hesitation.

Li Manshui was still worried about Xu Jian's safety at first, but now that Xu Jian had gone and returned within a few minutes, his heart was relieved.

Xu Jian passed the album to Li Manshui through the gap in the railing, and turned it back by himself.

"The ones in this photo are probably that woman and her sister."

After Xu Jian heard this, he rarely praised Li Manshui: "A child can be taught, if you don't click, you can understand."

"Find a time tomorrow and ask that woman. It's best to avoid her husband's time at home, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." Xu Jian clapped his hands, trying to shake off some of the sticky ash, but look It's no use coming.

"Okay." After Li Manshui agreed, he drove her back.

The two of them didn't go out with their photo album until after nine o'clock in the morning. They guessed that the woman's husband should not be at home at this time, so they could take this opportunity to ask her.

But when they arrived at the door of the women's house, they realized that no one was at home, so Xu Jian decisively chose to ask the neighbor's aunt for help.

"Her? She went out early in the morning. Who knows where she went? Let me tell you, little girl. I think there must be something wrong with this woman's spirit. You don't care about other people's family affairs. If you get involved You're not going to be well."

"Go, go there last night!" Before Li Manshui could react, Xu Jian grabbed her and ran towards the small black building.

Sure enough, the woman was standing next to the bamboo forest in the black house, digging the soil with her hands frantically, and at the same time muttering something, the vermilion wooden box was on the ground next to her!

Xu Jian vaguely had a bad premonition in his heart, climbed over the iron fence, and walked lightly behind the woman, only then did he hear what the woman said, and she frantically repeated the same sentence: "I don't owe you anything, I don't owe you anything." I don't owe you what's yours..."

Xu Jian grabbed the woman's shoulder and raised his voice: "This is really your child, isn't it!" He put the photo album in front of her eyes.

After hearing her words, the woman froze suddenly, turned around slowly, and looked at the photo in Xu Jian's hand.Then he snatched the photo album, threw it on the ground, stepped on it hard, and cursed at the same time: "It's all your fault! I don't owe you anything, so get out of here!!"

Xu Jian saw that the woman was unconscious now, so he struck out decisively and struck her on the back of the neck, causing the woman to faint.

"Wake up, don't sleep." A childish voice called.

"Uh... Ah!" When the woman opened her eyes, she saw a delicate little girl standing in front of her, looking at her expressionlessly.

"My head... hurts so much, where is this?" The woman looked around suspiciously, it was a simple but clean room.

The little girl probably thought her question was too ridiculous, and said with disdain: "This is your home, did you lose your memory after falling?"

"My house?" The woman stood up and looked around, feeling that this place was very familiar, but something was missing.

She pushed open the door, the sun was setting, and outside there were two little girls with their backs to her, playing something.

The slightly shorter girl pointed to the front and said, "Sister, whoever gets there first will eat the apple, okay!" The taller girl nodded and said, "Okay."

As expected, the tall girl arrived in just a few steps. When the little girl arrived, she immediately became unhappy and cried, "It doesn't count, my sister is tall and runs fast, this is cheating!"

The tall girl was a little helpless, so she had no choice but to comfort her, "Then you can eat this apple, sister is not hungry."

The little girl was a little reluctant, and refused: "No, the competition is still a competition, but my sister runs faster than me, so I have to find a way to make us as fast. How about this, sister tie two stones on her feet, That way we're going at the same speed."

"Okay, okay, I promise you."

The little girl got the answer she wanted, and bounced into the house. Within a few minutes, a stone weight rolled out, and the little girl kicking the weight behind held two long strips of cloth in her hands.

The little girl asked the tall girl to sit down, tied the cloth strips on her feet respectively, and then passed the cloth strips through the gap above the weights, circled them several times, and tied several knots before standing up satisfied. Tiantian smiled and said: "Okay, okay, sister, let's compare again."

The weight is so heavy that it takes a lot of effort for an adult to lift it, not to mention a child, let alone run away, a tall girl can't even take a step, this round, naturally the little girl won.

"The apple is mine!" the little girl cheered, but then she felt a little distressed, "but it's dirty, sister, please wash it for me.

"

The tall girl was responsive to the little girl's request, and just happened to be standing by the well, so she bent down to get the well bucket, ready to fetch water.

Just when she turned her back, the little girl's expression turned cold all of a sudden, she rushed up and pushed hard, the tall girl lost her balance and fell into the well.The weight tied to her feet was also pulled into the well at once, and she only had time to utter a scream before being pulled down by the heavy weight.

Countless bubbles surged up, and after a long time, the water surface returned to calm, as if nothing had happened this afternoon.

The little girl raised her innocent smile again: "Now, I don't need to share half with you anymore."

The woman was stunned by the scene in front of her, and stood there in a daze, then suddenly thought of looking for the little girl just now.

She turned around, only to find that the pretty little girl was standing behind her just now, saying in a hoarse voice: "Promises must be kept, and I owe my life for my life."

After saying this, the little girl raised her head, her originally pretty face was now rotten and swollen, with pieces of flesh and skin falling off constantly, the corner of the girl's split mouth raised a creepy arc and asked: "Little sister, You owe me, when will you pay it back?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

A thunderbolt struck, and the woman woke up from her dream.

Xu Jian looked at her calmly: "What, did you have a nightmare?"

The woman didn't answer her question, she turned her head and looked out of the window blankly. While she was dreaming, it was raining heavily outside.

The woman thought of that day, the rainy night when she came back, the rain was so heavy.

"Why doesn't she talk?" Li Manshui asked Xu Jian quietly. The two dragged the woman home with great difficulty, and now they don't answer the questions, and they can't help but feel dissatisfied.

"As expected, she still refuses to let me go." The woman finally spoke.

Xu Jian quickly asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "That child is indeed yours, right? What kind of grudge do you have with your sister?"

The woman smiled wryly, as if she knew she couldn't escape after all, so she chose to confess everything.

"My sister... has actually been dead for many years. When we were little girls, I was the one who killed her. From the time she came back, I knew she was here to kill her. She Tell me, if I want to keep my childhood promise, she will have what I have. Isn’t it fate if I have what she doesn’t have? , I am actually pregnant at this time! Do you know how happy I was at that time, one life for another, I don't have to pay my own life, this child can take my place!"

Xu Jian and Li Manshui listened to the crazy woman's words, and their faces showed disgust. Even if the tiger's poison does not eat its eggs, this woman's heart is so vicious.

"That rainy night, I deliberately fell on the way back, and then I called the hospital myself. After I aborted the baby, I called my husband. Before he came, I secretly aborted the abort in the hospital. I took the child back and hid it. I thought it was over, no matter what, I would be fine if I survived. But I didn't expect that she didn't want other people's lives, but mine! She even wanted to dig up the child I buried Come out and put it in front of my house, tell me, what kind of heart is she!" The woman became more and more outrageous, and in the end she still accused her poor sister.

Li Manshui glanced at Xu Jian, and the person who was scolded as "femme-hearted" was gritted his teeth and endured it.

"You are doing it on your own accord! Repaying debts and killing people has been a matter of course since ancient times!" It was the first time Xu Jian saw such a brazen person.

"Then tell me, if it wasn't for her, would my child be alive? I have searched the old house to find her so many times, but every time she sees me, she won't even smile!"

After hearing this, Xu Jian sneered: "Then I would like to ask, did she tell you personally to let you die, or is this just your own wild imagination?"

The woman was stunned when she heard this, and when she recalled carefully, it seemed that her sister never mentioned asking her to return her life, but what she had and what she didn't have, was life or what?

"No...no...you, you must be together! You are all lunatics!! I don't owe anything, and I don't have to pay anything back!" After saying this, the woman rushed out the door.

Li Slowshui ran to the balcony and saw the woman rushing downstairs into the rain, stumbling towards the house, and asked in puzzlement, "Why did she kill her sister back then?"

Xu Jian spread his hands: "Who knows, she killed her sister when she was a child, and now her sister comes back to find her. No matter what the reason is, it is her fault first, and the so-called debt repayment should be. It's just a pity that the unborn His child has been a sacrifice for decades of life debt."

"But her sister, what exactly does she want?" Xu Jian looked at the crazy woman in the rain, and asked himself a little puzzled.

20 years ago.

"Where's your sister, where did you go wild again?" The parents who came back from get off work were a little surprised to see that there was only one young daughter at home.

Holding the apple in her hands, the youngest girl replied obediently: "I don't know, my sister disappeared when I woke up from a nap, and I'm still waiting to share the apple with her!"

"Little girl is so good. Your sister must have gone somewhere to play. I think she will be back by herself after dinner." The father only thought that his eldest daughter was in the well in his yard right now.

"This girl, why doesn't she know she's going home? The sun is about to set, why don't you come back to eat when you're hungry?" The mother saw that the sun was about to go down the mountain, but the eldest daughter hadn't come back yet, so she was a little anxious.

"Wow, my sister didn't come home on time today, so mom, can I have an extra chicken leg?"

The mother took an umbrella and was about to go out to find her playful daughter, but she didn't care about the meaningful words of the little daughter, and hurriedly responded: "Eat, eat, let your sister not come back, I won't leave it for her today! "

The little daughter smiled happily as she watched her mother walk into the heavy rain with an umbrella.

"Now, I don't need to share everything with you anymore, everything is mine."

For a whole night, neither of them could find the eldest daughter again.

One year, two years, three years... The two finally gave up looking for the eldest daughter, and put all their thoughts and love on the only young daughter.

A few years later, the old house was going to be demolished to build a new one. Fearing that the missing eldest daughter could not find a home when she came back, the couple resolutely rejected the developer’s proposal to replace the old house with a new one. Instead of subsidies, they chose to keep the old house. Even forcing them to die, the developer had no choice but to keep the old house. In order not to look awkward, they built a fence outside and covered the old black house with a new house.

However, because the youngest daughter is going to school and moving to another place is another story.

But who would have thought that the house of the husband married to the grown-up youngest daughter turned out to be the place where his hometown was originally.For so many years, the grudges in the well have persisted in obsession, and eventually turned into evil spirits, entered their dreams, and demanded their debts.

Shocked and frightened, the younger daughter followed what her sister said in her dream to the old house.

Back then, my elder sister looked like a little girl, standing in front of the old house and looking at me, telling me to do what I said, and to give what I had and what she didn't have.

This is clearly to kill.

However, the youngest daughter still has a little luck in her heart, and she comes to recall childhood memories with her sister every day, hoping to influence her.I just explained to my husband that my sister who had been missing for many years is now back and wants to get together more.

But every time she went, her sister just asked her if she was ready to return the things, didn't say anything else, and never responded to her so-called influence.The younger daughter gradually felt that her elder sister was really unwilling to let her go, and she insisted on paying back this life.

But at this time she was pregnant. After several months of hesitation, the youngest daughter told her elder sister the news. Then, she saw her elder sister showing a rare expression, as if she was a little...happy?

The elder sister stretched out her hand, wanting to touch her lower abdomen, but finally retracted it.

"After you return the things, don't come again." Her sister's words made her very happy. Isn't this implying that she is trading her life for her life?Although this is my own flesh and blood, but...but it's more important to live by myself, isn't it!

It was the first rainstorm since the beginning of summer. When the little daughter fell in the rain, although the blood flowed from her body and the pain was unbearable, there was a contented expression on her face.

But who knew that my sister didn't want other people's lives, not even those related to me by blood. Not only that, my sister was furious when she saw the corpse, and angrily scolded her to get out.

The woman's whole body was drenched by the rain, and she knew that her sister must have her own life.

ok... ok... you wait...

It has been a week since that incident, and Li Manshui has resumed his salty fish routine.

One day, she had just gone downstairs to pick up the newspaper and came back when her cell phone rang suddenly, it was a message from Xu Jian.

"This kind of thing happened not long after the summer vacation started. Do you want to go on a trip to relax?"

"Nothing to be diligent about, either a traitor or a thief!"

"...Someone I know gave me a plane ticket, saying that I planned to travel, but I couldn't go due to some emergency. I originally wanted to comfort someone who was overly frightened with full board and lodging, but now it seems that I should be alone. ~"

"I'll go, I'll go, Miss Jian is waiting for me, I'll pack my luggage right away!" Li Manshui threw away the newspaper he just brought back, and rushed back to the room to pack his things.

The headline of the newspaper that fell on the ground read a piece of news———The woman committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, which involved the unsolved disappearance case 20 years ago!

The accompanying picture is the small black building.
