Due to the renovation of the school dormitory, the four of us girls temporarily moved to a long-abandoned courtyard house in the suburbs. In the evening, I looked at everything in the courtyard and couldn't help but feel terrified. Night fell slowly. Under the dim yellow light, our faces were covered with uneasiness and nervousness.
"This place is too scary. I don't dare to sleep alone.”I said nervously.
"I'm scared too. Why don't we sleep on the same bed?”Lan Yu ran over. As we lay down in each other's arms, I felt her body tremble.
Cui-er and Juzi laid down together in the same way.
Exhausted by the inexplicable fear, we all fell into a deep sleep.
I dreamed that I was kidnapped by a few malicious ghosts to a cemetery in the wilderness on a rainy night. I was scared out of my wits and my body was as soft as a pile of mud. Just as I was about to faint, I suddenly heard my boyfriend, Hua Jun, shout,"Help! Help!"
Was he also being held hostage here? I looked around with the help of the lightning, but I didn't see Hua Jun's figure. His cry for help floated over the gloomy cemetery. I was so anxious that I cried until I woke up.
I opened my eyes and saw that the lights were on in the room. My three friends were surrounding me. Obviously, my crying had woken them up.
Just as I was telling them about my dream, something even more terrible happened. I really vaguely heard Hua Jun's cry for help."Help! Help!"
Instantly, the four of us were frightened by this cry. Although the voice was very vague, I was very sure that it was my boyfriend, Hua Jun. He and a few boys had clearly moved into a classmate's house. Why would they come here in the middle of the night to shout? The three companions also felt that this matter was very strange.
We listened carefully for a while and felt that the voice came from outside the house." Is Hua Jun in danger nearby?”I mustered up my courage to go out and see what was going on. I begged my three companions to go out with me. When we pushed the door open, we realized that it was raining outside. It was so dark that we couldn't even see our fingers.
The sporadic lightning was like the will-o'-the-wisps in the graveyard of my dreams, and our legs were as heavy as lead. After a few steps, we huddled together, listening with our ears and searching with the help of our flashlights. Nothing was found, and we returned to the house with trepidation. Just as doubts rose in our minds, Hua Jun's cry for help sounded again. It was soft, faint, and slowly floating. Everyone's expression suddenly became solemn, and their hearts were in their throats.
"Is this place haunted?" Lan Yu hugged me tightly, tears streaming down her face.
"But I can tell that it's indeed Hua Jun shouting!”I stammered.
"Oh right, give him a call!”Cui Er's words reminded me, but I called for a long time, but I couldn't get through to Hua Jun's phone. I even called the people who lived with him, but their phones were all switched off.
Just as we were disappointed, the cry for help came again. The room became even quieter. In addition to the cry for help, we also heard each other's rapid breathing and pounding hearts.
As I listened, I felt even more panicked because I felt that the sound was coming from the wall. Hearing what I said, everyone pressed their ears to the west wall. Sure enough, the sounds they heard were much more vivid. If it was really Hua Jun shouting, why would he run into the wall?
"Hua Jun, is that you?" I cried at the wall. Something even stranger happened. Just as I shouted, the sound from the wall also stopped.
" It's really haunted. Hurry up and report it!" Everyone begged me. My hands trembled as I dialed the number.
Accompanied by the ear-piercing sirens, we felt that this old house was filled with murderous intent. The homeroom teacher, Teacher Diao, also rushed over in time after receiving our call. The police and Teacher Diao didn't quite believe it after listening to our frightened story. They searched around the residence carefully, but they did not find Hua Jun or anyone else. Thus, they rushed to Hua Jun's temporary residence.
As time passed, my mood became more and more nervous. Everyone was silent and made wild guesses in their hearts. The police sirens rang out of the window again. The police and the teacher brought back an ominous piece of news-Hua Jun was not at her residence. According to my classmates, he said he would come to see me after dinner and then left. The students thought that he didn't go back at night because he went to the internet with me. I was so nervous that I cried. Everyone's expressions were so serious that they were about to freeze.
Did Hua Jun really run into the wall? After another fruitless search, the police began to look at the west wall of our house. "Did you really hear the shouts coming from here?”They asked in confusion.
We nodded affirmatively.
"Then why isn't anyone shouting now?" The policeman looked at me strangely.
We were all speechless. After a long silence, the police decided to dig a hole in the wall.
A violent hammering shook my heart. Gradually, the crack in the wall revealed the outline of a door. After another round of digging, the door was opened. Everyone was surprised to see that the wall was hollow. Hua Jun, whose face was ashen, was lying inside with mud all over her body, holding a bouquet of red wildflowers in her hand. Seeing this, I cried and rushed over. I found that Hua Jun's body was cold and stiff, and she had stopped breathing.
When I recovered from my grief, I learned that the police had found a deep hole in the crop field next to our house that led into the empty wall of our temporary residence. The police further investigated and found out that this old house was the secret base of the underground party in the early years. In order to make it easier to retreat, a tunnel leading to the outside was built. The wooden door on the wall was the entrance. Because it had not been used for a long time, it was covered by the mud on the surface. The exit of the tunnel was also filled with soil by the local farmers. Perhaps the soil at the exit of the tunnel had loosened after being soaked in the torrential rain for several days. Hua Jun had accidentally fallen into it when she arrived here. After he failed to climb out, he probably climbed into the wall along the tunnel and died of lack of oxygen.
In the fields around this courtyard house, there are many wildflowers that are the same as the ones in Hua Jun's hands. He must have gotten into an accident to pick the wildflowers for me.。。。
