Wrapped in cloth is a long photo, with a black photo frame on the outside and a black flower tied to the top of the photo frame...
"Portrait?" I asked in surprise.
I turned the photo to the front to see whose portrait it was, but as soon as I turned it over, I was stunned!
The photo is not a portrait...
Because it was already getting late, my vision was not very good. I moved the photo closer to my eyes and found that it was a yellowed black and white photo. It looked a bit old. The photo inside was of a two-story building.
There is a broken cross sign on it, like an old clinic...
The windows of the clinic are all open, and through the broken glass, you can see the darkness in the small building...
What attracted me the most was an old lady standing on the street, in front of the small building...
The old lady was wearing old-society clothes, with a hairpin in her half-length hair. Her expression and movements were very stiff. It was obvious at a glance that she was not very good at taking pictures. What was strange were her two eyes...
I don’t know if it’s because the pixels of the black-and-white photo are too low or for some other reason, but the old lady’s eyes were... black and without white eyes. She was staring straight ahead, as if she was looking at the person holding the photo.
My heart tightened unconsciously. This photo gave people an indescribable sense of depression, but it also gave me a strong sense of immersion, as if I would be pulled into the photo just by looking at it. I shook my head, okay?
It's easy to get out of the picture.
"What does this photo mean?" I turned to look at Yu Xian.
Yu Xian's eyes suddenly trembled,
"I...I don't know either..."
"I don't know what you mean?"
Yu Xian didn't say any more, she just pushed me into the car, then she got in, started the car and ran out.
I didn't know where she was taking me, and I didn't ask her. I just sat quietly in the car, and neither of us spoke a word along the way.
Half an hour later, the car stopped on the side of a street. After getting out of the car, I subconsciously looked towards the building closest to me, but I was stunned when I saw it!
"This is…"
I hurriedly bent down and took out the black and white photo from the passenger car, and looked at the building in front of me for a long time. This building was exactly the same as the two-story building in the photo.
"What's going on?" I couldn't help but ask Yu Xian.
Yu Xian pointed at the building in front of him and said:
"As you can see, this is my newly opened clinic. It is exactly the same as the small building in the photo, or they may be the same one..."
"The clinic you run?"
"Well...it just opened a while ago..."
After hearing what she said, I turned to look at the clinic. Maybe it was because it was too late, so the rolling shutter doors were closed...
I looked at the photos again, and there are actually some differences between the two. The shabby small building in the photo is obviously old. This can be seen not only from the street in the photo, but also from the clothes of the old lady.
come out…
I don't know why, but I always feel that they are definitely the same company.
Just when I was thinking wildly, Yu Xian stepped forward and pointed at the old lady in the photo, and said word by word:
"Just a few days ago, I met this old lady..."
"What?!"
I looked at her with wide eyes.
"This photo must be several decades old, right? The old lady in the photo was at least seventy years old at the time. She should have died long ago. If she had survived to this day, then she..."
Before I finished speaking, something suddenly occurred to me,
"Where did you see her? And who gave you this photo?"
Yu Xian let out a long sigh and said slowly:
"The clinic just opened some time ago, and there were a lot of people seeing patients. I was busy until late every day, but just a few days ago, I was busy until about ten o'clock at night as usual. Because it rained heavily that night, I
I was too lazy to go home, so I decided to stay at the clinic..."
"But not long after I closed the rolling shutter door, I heard someone knocking on the door outside. I opened the door without thinking..."
"Bang...bang...bang..."
Before Yu Xian finished speaking, she was interrupted by a violent banging on the door. She and I looked back at the same time.
Under the dim street lights, I saw an old figure standing in front of the clinic door, banging on the door with very stiff movements!
"ah?!"
Yu Xian suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, trembling as she said:
"That's it...it's her!"
The old lady seemed to hear her voice, her raised hand froze in mid-air, and then she slowly turned around.
I was startled, and hurriedly opened the car door and pushed her into the car, got in myself, then closed the car door, curled up and listened quietly to the movement outside the car.
The car was very quiet, and we could only hear the breathing of the two of us. I really wanted to raise my head to see what was going on outside the car, but I didn't dare...
The banging on the door never came again...
I muttered in my heart, and after waiting for a while, I slowly raised my head to see if the old lady was still outside the window...
"Bang...bang...bang!"
Just when I was about to raise my head, the car window was suddenly hit hard several times. I was startled by the sudden movement and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
I raised my head slightly and saw an old lady's face pressed tightly against the car window. Although it was covered with film, I could still see a pair of black eyes with no white kernels on her chicken-skinned face.
…
A fierce look on his face!
She shook her head back and forth, and kept beating the car window violently with her two withered hands. If she continued like this, sooner or later the window would be smashed by her! Yu Xian lowered her head and lay behind me, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, even
Her slight sobbing could be heard.
I slowly put my hand into my backpack, ready to take action at any time.
But at this moment, the old lady suddenly stopped. She took one last look at the car, then turned around and left unwillingly...
After confirming that she really left, I took a deep breath and gently patted Yu Xian's shoulder. She slowly raised her head, her face was already covered with tears, and she looked a little charming.
"You stay here, I'll follow you and take a look..."
