The two of them were trembling with fear and their faces were pale.
This is a large bedroom.
In front of the two of them was a huge nanmu wardrobe, which they sealed with coffin wood.
It is said that coffin wood wards off evil spirits.
It seems that it does have some effect.
At least after sealing the closet, those things won't come out again.
The man's name is Meng Feng and the woman's name is Zhang Wanting.
It was only half a year before they returned to Shicheng.
The decision to return to my hometown from abroad was made by the young couple after careful consideration.
But how can they imagine that they have beautiful yearnings in their arms?
But he stepped into hell.
When Meng Feng and Zhang Wanting returned to Shicheng, they found that many places seemed to have remained unchanged, but perhaps many places had changed.
Became unrecognizable.
For example, the new store downstairs has become an old store, and the beautiful store manager who has been there for more than 20 years has become a thing of the past.
When they left, the store manager was not married yet.
And now, I am holding a feather duster in the store and yelling at my two sons to do their homework.
Except for the people, time seems to have stood still here.
Most of the time, Stone City looks more like an abandoned city with a population loss.
It is entangled with depleted resources, aging, coldness, depression, and the safety hazards caused by large-scale mining of ores.
The whole world is running desperately forward, and it seems that crazy involution is the only compass leading to success in this world.
But Shicheng's life is still slowly going backwards, as if he is laughing miserably and fighting against the whole world.
Development and change are far away from this small city.
More than 20 years ago, Meng Feng and Zhang Wanting eloped and left Shicheng regardless of their parents' objections.
Twenty years later, both parents worked in the mines and mined stones for many years, so they failed to effectively protect themselves.
He contracted lung disease and died.
After losing their parents, the two of them felt like they were floating.
Floating in the air, childless and careless.
In the whole world, only the two of them are left dependent on each other.
Life in a big city is tiring, irritable, introverted, and without a sense of belonging.
Two people who have worked all their lives and cannot buy a house in a big city are like duckweeds without roots, floating in the city all the time.
However, they suddenly discovered that among the thousands of lights in every house at night, none of them really lit up for them.
"Go home. At least you can die and be buried in your own ancestral grave, so you have a place to go."
On the day they realized this, Meng Feng and Zhang Wanting decided to return to live in Shicheng.
Although the economy there is backward, at least the houses are cheap.
After selling my parents' old house, I can use my savings of more than 20 years to buy a good house in Shicheng and live a good life.
So they came back.
I returned to the Xincheng area of Shicheng and bought a 200-square-meter duplex.
The layout of the house is very good and they decorated it very well.
The two of them, in their forties, finally had a real home of their own and were extremely excited.
At the beginning, life in Shicheng was wonderful, even the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar rice were full of freshness.
Meng Feng and Zhang Wanting felt that it was right for them to come back, but in fact they should have come back long ago.
What happened until that day completely overturned their fragile little happiness.
There seems to be something wrong with the wardrobe in their bedroom cloakroom!
The first person to discover that there was a problem with the wardrobe was Zhang Wanting's childhood friend and best friend.
Zhang Wanting's best friend is Yao An, and she has been her neighbor since she was a child.
The two have been friends since they started wearing crotchless pants.
Went to elementary school together, middle school and high school together.
Until Zhang Wanting eloped and left her husband for more than 20 years, they still kept in touch.
So when Zhang Wanting was ready to return to her hometown of Shicheng to develop, Yao An was the happiest person.
When it came to buying a house, I also relied on Yao An's connections and saved a lot of money.
Yao An works in a public institution in Shicheng. He has a stable job and can see everything at a glance.
Therefore, he knew all aspects of Shicheng very well and often took Zhang Wanting to eat and drink.
Every Friday is the bestie day for the two of them.
Yao An and Zhang Wanting always make appointments to eat at a newly opened high-end restaurant.
That day was no exception.
"My dear, are you ready? Tsk, your outfit is not good enough."
Yao An's personality is completely opposite to Zhang Wanting's, he is carefree.
As soon as he entered the door that day, he looked Zhang Wanting up and down, shook his head and said, "That restaurant has regulations that diners must wear a black dress, preferably a classic style."
"I think I have one, it's in the closet of the cloakroom."
Zhang Wanting thought to herself that today's small cities really have to be like big cities in everything.
If you go to a place where you eat crayfish, you have to wear a dress.
It's really ridiculous.
He turned around to get it, but was stopped by Yao An with a wave of his hand: "It's almost o'clock, and you haven't even put on makeup. Go, put some cream on your face quickly, and I'll get it for you."
Yao An also helped when the house was renovated and he knew the layout of her house very well.
She was so excited that she asked Zhang Wanting to make her makeup more refined while trotting straight towards the cloakroom.
Meng Feng, who was treated as nothing, smiled bitterly: "Your best friend has not changed at all from when I was a child."
"It hasn't changed much."
Zhang Wanting also smiled. To be honest, she was a little envious.
My best friends are well protected. Unlike them, they have been wandering around in the big city for a long time. They have never seen any monsters and monsters, and they have long lost their original intention.
As soon as this best friend left, there was no news for five or six minutes.
Zhang Wanting, who had simply put on makeup, was stunned and shouted to the bedroom upstairs: "An'an, have you found it?"
Yao An, who was supposed to be upstairs, did not answer her.
Zhang Wanting and Meng Feng looked at each other, somewhat confused.
It shouldn't be. Although my home is a duplex, it's not very big.
It's been almost ten minutes since Yao An went to get the little black dress. It's so unreasonable.
"Did she have any accident?" Zhang Wanting asked hesitantly.
"What accident could happen at home?" Meng Feng curled his lips.
Zhang Wanting still felt uneasy, she kept having a bad premonition.
So she stepped on her high heels and squeaked upstairs to the bedroom cloakroom.
The closet door of the cloakroom was wide open, but there was no sign of Yao An.
The two of them searched almost the entire house, but still couldn't find it.
"Did Yao An leave on his own?" Zhang Wanting stammered.
"How is that possible? We live in Dingyue. If she wants to leave, she can only go through the elevator at the gate. Is it possible that she can also jump downstairs?"
Meng Feng thought for a moment: "How about we look for her again. Maybe she has low blood sugar and fainted somewhere."
The sudden disappearance of their best friend made the two of them feel chilly, as if there was an evil spirit flowing in the house.
At this moment, Meng Feng suddenly heard a violent noise coming from the bedroom.
The two of them shivered, looked at each other, and hurriedly ran towards the source of the sound.
