Trafford’s Trading Club

As a result of his work, Lochu's father had long settled in the city where he lived, but also because of the remnants of the system in some towns and the uncertainty in the countryside, the Lochu family remained in their homes.

It's a rather old brick two-storey cabin with cement on the left back and back, and then tile patches on one side of the door with those little squares.

The houses next to them are the kind of dirt houses called old houses, and the newly built houses in the village are on the other side of the village road opposite these old houses.

Young and old, off the path of an era, not far away, but with hope.

The old man insisted on living in his old house.

It's long past late autumn and the weather gets cold. Adults have no choice but to buy small pieces of heater and do not want to really get rid of the cold air, but it is also a good thing to get rid of the moisture inside the old house.

When Lochu saw the grandmother, she was half-dreaming, drinking the rice soup fed by her loved ones, which the old man was currently able to eat.

The one feeding the old man should be Uncle Rochu's wife. The aunt told the old man that Rochu was back.

The old man didn't react, he just didn't know what to say, so he wanted to eat some more.

Rocchu's cousin smoked outside the door of the room and looked very tired, "Rocchu, as you can see, she doesn't recognize anyone anymore. The doctor said it's not been a few days, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, even suddenly..."

He didn't go on, he just smoked a cigarette that had burned to the end, almost burned to the filter position, threw it down, then lit a new one, and looked at Rochu: “If you want to go in and see him, go in. If you're tired, you can rest. ”

Lochu nodded and walked into the room.

He called the grandmother Grandma Haru... Auntie gave him a seat, and he looked at Grandma Haru.

Auntie wiped it on Granny Haru's mouth with a handkerchief. She wanted to eat, but it just seemed difficult to swallow. “Alas, I actually had a gastrectomy the previous few years. I was thinking about stomach cancer. Is it okay? But it happened again after a few years. Now I have to throw up after eating something..."

Rochu reached out and grabbed Granny Haru's palm, cooling like ice, even a little stiff, “Granny Haru, this is Rochu. Do you remember me? ”

The body's dirt has weakened to the extreme, and its life has truly reached its end... the oil is exhausted and the natural cycle is changing on this grandmother Haru.

“She can't hear anything.” Cousin's wife shook her head beside her.

“I'll do it.” Rochu whispered, taking the bowl of rice soup from her hand.

“Don't get dirty, she'll throw up.” Auntie suddenly whispered.

But Grandma Haru can swallow this time. One bite at a time, the look gradually became satisfied. Auntie looked at the scene quite magically, and she couldn't remember how many of her own husband's cousin's sons she hadn't seen.

Luo Zheng is also a very filial child, but he does not do this kung fu. Auntie subconsciously contrasts the same generation between the two children.

This room doesn't seem so dull without realizing it... even though no one is talking, it just feels different.

It feels like there are some amazing kids... my aunt subconsciously thinks.

……

“It's too late. Why don't you rest at my house tonight? ”

After a short visit, Auntie pointed to the new house across the village road and said to Lo Qiu: "Your house has been in the house for a long time, and it's not very well cleaned up at night. These days are not long, you should just stay at your aunt's house, your own family, how nice to talk. ”

Lochu took a look at the new house across the street. In fact, the lights were already on and he could see people moving inside. Just didn't see anybody coming.

In the evening, the households closed their doors, and the lights were bright in the house, even illuminating the highways of the village, but it was also very quiet.

Even if they had a watchdog, they were just wandering around with their heads down or squatting on the floor, not knowing what to look at.

The country or the elderly say that the dog's eyes can see more than people can.

And he said, "It's okay, I'll do whatever I want. ”

“Fine, if there's anything inconvenient, just knock on the door.” Cousin nodded directly at this moment and gave Rochu a flashlight, "but the electric gate broke and had not been repaired, this electricity should not work. The water should still work... or you should stay at your uncle's house. ”

“I'm not afraid of the dark.” Rochu laughed.

“It's not a black problem, it's...” My aunt stopped talking, but my cousin glanced at me.

But Auntie mentioned this, and the cousin could only stare, helplessly said to Rochu, “Your house is a little unclean. ”

“It's not natural to stay here for so long, it's not clean.” Rochu laughed.

“Not this!” The cousin lowered his voice, "they said, haunted! ”

“Where was the electric gate? I kind of forgot.” Rochu suddenly asked.

Uncle Cousin was stunned and the light came up under the house. Lochu walked over, opened the cover, and pushed the electric lock up, and the light bulb in front of the house lit up directly.

“Strange, is that obviously broken?” Cousin looked at his wife in amazement and frowned: “I've tried it, can't you hit it? ”

"If there's light, it should be clean," said Rochu. ”

“Well then...” Cousin and Auntie didn't push on.

In their view, kids like Rochu, who grew up in big cities, naturally don't believe anything they say... and of course they don't really go superstitious.

It's just that fear comes naturally, life grows, and there's always something to taboo... and the village is really quiet.

They soon returned to Grandma Haru's house and pushed the door in, walking a little fast and closing the door a little fast.

Lochu shook his head, opened the door and made a call to Ren Ziling.

Ren Ziling asked with interest, "How about that! Did your relatives bully you? I remember what kind of uncle you had in your house. People were so rude, they were so loud! ”

"What strange thing did you have in mind," said Rochu. ”

“Tsk, conscience when the dog lungs.” Ren Ziling muttered, "By the way, what happened to the old lady? ”

Lochu opened the door and said to the lights: "Almost. I hear it's just for two days. ”

“Life and death are uncertain.” Ren Ziling sighed.

"Why hasn't the house been out of power for so many years?" said Rochu. ”

Ren Ziling casually said: "Oh, your father has been paying for electricity since he was still here. Anyway, then nobody lived there, and the electricity was not very expensive, so I kept going. Have you eaten yet? ”

“I've eaten, I'll get the room first, let's not talk.” He looked over his head at the ceiling and said.

Some very nuanced voices are coming up the stairs… the words of ordinary people are probably inaudible.

“Fine, do it yourself. I'll be working late. ”

“Well... don't eat spaghetti.” Lochu finally said something and turned off the phone.

Lochu closed the door behind him and still looked at the ceiling on top... the lights turned on but for a long time there was no room for people, but a lot of spider webs hung up.

The entrance is the living room, next to the living room is the staircase on the second floor.

When Lochu climbed up the stairs and came upstairs, he also turned on the lights in the hallway.

There are three rooms upstairs, one for his grandparents who died a long time ago, one for his father when he was a kid, and one for putting in some groceries.

At the end is the grocery room, judging by the sound you can hear downstairs, the location is in the room at the end.

Lochu walked to the grocery room door with his hands on the lock of the room and seemed to have no intention of twisting, but just parked here.

The lights in this corridor may have been useless for too long, perhaps because of poor contact, and flashing at this point, they won't break suddenly, but they will glow and make a nourishing sound of current.

After a while, Lochu retracted his hand and did not open the door directly, but knocked gently on the door —— knock, knock, knock.

Knock knock.

The door lock of the room suddenly twisted, only heard a squeak, this door opened a small gap...
