Chapter 5: Strange Old House 2. Reproduction of piano sound
In the evening, the gloomy sky began to drizzle, dripping down along the eaves. Wu Yu and Yun Yun stared at the rain curtain outside the door in a daze. The lights in the room made the whole room look mysterious and romantic. In the silence, Wu Yu thought about the photos that the photo studio had uploaded today. He couldn't understand why there was nothing in the photos? And the girl in the white cheongsam, was her name really Niao Niao?
"Yu——" Yunyun suddenly called him and pushed him.
"What's wrong?" Wu Yu was startled and came to his senses.
"Yu, listen--" Yunyun looked at him with frightened eyes .
"Bang, bang, bang..." Wu Yu was surprised to hear the sound of the piano. Wu Yu suddenly remembered the piano sound that night and thought it must be coming from the house in the backyard. When he thought of this, he said to Yunyun, "I'll go and take a look." Then he came out of the room with a lantern and walked towards the backyard.
Holding a lantern, Wu Yu walked towards the room where the piano music came from with trepidation. As he approached, the piano music became clearer, just as it was that night. But Wu Yu found that the room where the piano music came from seemed to be lit up with a dim light like a lantern, which made him even more frightened, and his heart was beating like the piano music.
He timidly walked to the door of the room. The sound of the piano did not stop because of his arrival, but became more beautiful. At this time, he was panicked and didn't know what to do. When he calmed down, he quietly poked a finger through the thin screen window and looked inside through the tiny hole. Wu Yu saw the person playing the piano inside through the dim light. He was so frightened that he almost screamed and almost collapsed.
"How is this possible?" he muttered to himself, seemingly overly frightened.
"Could the legend be true? Are the legendary Miss Xinluo and her maid Niaoniao really the reincarnations of white foxes?" He was thinking that the girl playing the piano just now was a girl in a red cheongsam, who was the girl he met on the day he went to the riverside, and the girl standing next to her was none other than the girl in the white cheongsam that Wu Yu met today.
Just as he was panicking, the piano music suddenly stopped. Wu Yu's heart skipped a beat, as if it was about to sink. When the piano music stopped, the silence in the backyard became even more terrifying.
In his heart, Wu Yu still didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world, so he took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, stepped forward and pushed the door hard, and the door creaked instantly.
As soon as he opened the door, Wu Yu bravely looked over at them, "Ah——" Wu Yu almost covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes wide open with horror. Wu Yu actually saw nothing, and his heart was pounding as he wondered how it was possible. He had clearly seen them just now, but how come they disappeared as soon as they opened their eyes? Was it really a ghost? Wu Yu walked forward with doubts, but found a guqin, which made him even more surprised.
Suddenly, he heard the door creaking softly, as if it was happening next to him. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that there was a back door.
Wu Yu couldn't help but push the door open out of curiosity, and found that there was a unique . In the silence, through the dim light, he vaguely saw that it seemed to be a garden of a woman in the Republic of China, and it seemed that someone still lived there, and the ground was very clean.
As he was watching, suddenly, something flew past him quickly. He only sensed a flash of white. Shocked, he turned around and looked over. He saw a white fox staring at him intently. After a while, it quickly ran towards the front yard and disappeared in a flash.
Wu Yu was stunned for a moment in shock, and felt a cold wind blowing from the front, and he shivered uncontrollably .
"Could the legend be true?" Wu Yu shuddered, walked in, and walked quickly to the front yard. As soon as Wu Yu returned to the room, he wanted to call Yunyun, but found that Yunyun was not in the room. In the silence, a "la la la" sound suddenly rang out. Wu Yu was startled and saw that it was Yunyun's mobile phone on the bed. Wu Yu went over to pick it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar call. Wu Yu didn't have time to answer it. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. He was startled and slowly turned around. He saw that it was a girl in a red cheongsam. Fortunately, it was Yunyun, otherwise he would have fainted from fright.
"Did you find anything?" Yunyun said quietly.
Wu Yu didn't notice anything unusual about Yunyun, and just when he was about to say something, suddenly, a series of "bang bang bang..." piano sounds rang out again. Wu Yu was so frightened that his face turned pale.
Wu Yu didn't have time to say anything to Yunyun. Suddenly, he ran out of the room with a lantern like crazy, and then ran to the backyard. He heard that the piano sound was still coming from that room, and the light was still on. Wu Yu thought, whether it was a ghost or a person playing, he must find out, otherwise he would go crazy. Wu Yu ran to the room quickly and pushed the door open, but the piano sound stopped abruptly. Wu Yu also heard a creaking sound, and then he saw the back door move, as if someone had just left the room. He immediately chased forward, opened the door and entered the backyard, but the backyard was silent and there was nothing. Wu Yu was more and more surprised. Who was playing the piano? He returned to Yunyun's room with doubts. Yunyun looked at him in surprise and said, "Yu, what happened? You are so panicked." Wu Yu shook his head, and seemed to be dazed. Yunyun suddenly sneered , revealing a weird smile and a row of white teeth in the dim light. The drizzle outside the house continued to linger.
