After graduation, Qin Dong was lucky enough to find a job as a graphic designer in an advertising company. Although the salary was not high, he was in the right major and had development prospects. Compared to his classmates who were still struggling, he was much luckier.

Qin Dong's family is not in this city, and the company does not provide accommodation, so Qin Dong needs to find a place to live. He found an agent and posted a rental advertisement online. He looked at several houses, but he was not satisfied with them. They were either too far away or too expensive.

In the afternoon, Qin Dong was receiving customers at the company. The phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar voice: Mr. Qin? Do you want to rent a house? It sounded hoarse. The other party reported the location of the house, the east section of Xingfu Road. According to Qin Dong's company,

Far.

After get off work, Qin Dong came to Xingfu Road as promised. This is an old-fashioned building. Although it has been in disrepair, the community is still clean and quiet. There are sparse open spaces with some fitness equipment, as well as swings and slides for children to play. There are seven houses in total. layer

, the landlord’s house is on the top floor. The strange thing is that there is a security door leading to the seventh floor. It is rusty and it can be seen that no one has lived in it for a long time. The landlord is a thin middle-aged man with a conspicuous scar on his forehead.

Looks a bit ferocious

But his attitude was very kind. He took out the key and fiddled with it for a long time before opening the rusty door lock. Entering the room, it was a two-bedroom apartment with a living room. It was well decorated and had relatively new furniture. There was a master bedroom.

, there is also a second bedroom, it seems that it used to be a children's room. But it is very dusty, the floating soil on the table and the floor is very thick, and there are even spider webs in some places. It can be seen that no one has lived in it for a long time. I asked the price,

Qin Dong was very satisfied. It was impossible to get this price in this location.

Maybe this was a landlord who didn't understand the market, and he was afraid that he would regret it, so Qin Dong finalized the deal on the spot and paid the deposit. The landlord was also very happy, handed him the keys, and made an appointment to sign the contract at the landlord's house the next day. The landlord left first.

, Qin Dong had taken half a day off to look at the house. He didn't have to go to work today, so he wanted to clean the house first so that he could move in as soon as possible. He found a mop and was about to mop the floor, but suddenly he found a row of small footprints on the floor, from the living room window to the bathroom.

, to be precise

It was a small footprint of a child without shoes, and the toes could be clearly seen. Qin Dong felt very strange, the security door was locked, how could a child run in? Maybe it was the landlord's child, but the rust stains

Banban's door lock has obviously not been opened for a long time... Qin Dong was puzzled. Finally, he decided not to pay attention to this trivial matter. Anyway, he had rented a satisfactory house at a low price and thought about things that had nothing to do with him.

What to do?

The next day, Qin Dong went to the landlord's house as promised and signed the contract. The hostess was not at home, the house was very messy and smelled of alcohol. It was still the middle-aged man who received him, signed and paid a quarter's rent. Qin Dong

Before leaving, he casually asked: Your child is not at home. The man who was so kind just now suddenly widened his eyes.

He looked at him fiercely: What do you mean? My daughter... Qin Dong was confused and said hurriedly: Oh, I just want to ask, do you have a daughter? The landlord relaxed, and he looked out the window blankly, as if he was

Speaking to himself, he seemed to be telling Qin Dong: Yes, I have a daughter, she should be ten years old...

Qin Dong quickly moved into his new home. He was very satisfied. Not only was it close to the company, but the surrounding supermarkets and other service facilities were also very complete. After settling in, he decided to invite his colleagues to get together on Saturday.

That day he received a difficult customer and got off work late. He thought about inviting a colleague the next day, so he hurried to the supermarket to buy a bunch of food after get off work, and it was already dusk when he got home.

As soon as he entered the community, he saw a little girl on the swing, about five or six years old, wearing a pink dress, with a bow tied with a yellow ribbon in her ponytail. The long ribbon and the girl's hair were blowing in the evening breeze.

Floating in the air, very cute.

It was getting late and all the other children had gone home. Whose little girl is this? Qin Dong couldn't help walking towards the little girl: Why are you here alone? Where is your mother? The little girl didn't speak, just looked at Qin Dong quietly, touching

The little girl's gaze shocked Qin Dong's heart. The little girl's dark eyes were deep and melancholy...

It was very inappropriate for her age. He couldn't help but touch the little girl's fair little face. It was cold and cold, oh, it's almost autumn, and the little girl was too thinly dressed. "Qingqing", he heard the cry,

The little girl got off the swing and ran upstairs. Qin Dong noticed that the little girl was also at the door where he lived.

After a busy day, Qin Dong wanted to take a bath and rest early. After washing with hot water, he felt that the fatigue of the day was released. He accidentally looked into the bathroom mirror and suddenly found a figure in the misty water. He thought he had an illusion.

, wiped away the water mist, and he was shocked. The little girl with a yellow bow tie was looking at him with melancholy eyes in the mirror... He quickly turned around, there was only the rushing water... Then he looked at the mirror and saw only his own silly expression. Where did that come from?

little girl.

Qin Dong didn't sleep well that night. I don't know which woman was always crying, intermittently, sadly. Although the sound was not loud, in the quiet night, I could hear it very clearly. Maybe some couple was quarreling.

.Qin Dong covered his head with a quilt.

Unexpectedly, he heard a woman crying almost every night for half a month, which made him unable to sleep well. But other than this, the community was basically very quiet, especially the building where Qin Dong lived, with few residents.

, and considering the rent issue, Qin Dong decided to endure it.

Qin Dong got off work late that day. When he came back, he met the little girl sitting on the swing again. The autumn wind was cold, but the little girl was still wearing a thin dress and her little feet were bare. Qin Dong was very curious and there was no adult to take care of him.

Her? Where is her mother?

The next day, Qin Dong finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked an old man in the community. "What, you said you saw Qingqing? Alas, that poor child has been dead for five years." "What?" Qin

Dong's mind went blank. "I blame her unlucky father for playing cards."

, drinking, beating his wife... In the summer five years ago, he beat his wife severely after being drunk. The wife jumped off the building in anger, Qingqing did not hold her mother, and fell down with her... What a pity, the two of them died unjustly.

, the ghost is still lingering. All the timid people in this building have moved away...

One quiet evening, Qin Dong bought a lot of food, things for children, and warm children's clothes, went under the swing frame, and lit three sticks of incense...
