Chapter 5: Strange Old House 3. The truth about the old house
Wu Yu had hardly slept all night. In his half-asleep vaguely heard several women whispering and laughing, their voices were as beautiful as the sounds of nature. Wu Yu felt as if he was in a dream, but the women's voices rang in his ears like silver bells. Wu Yu slowly opened his eyes and saw three beautiful women in cheongsam sitting in front of the screen in the dimly lit room. He was shocked and thought he was still dreaming. He rubbed his eyes and was shocked to find that what he saw was not a dream.
One of the three women was Yunyun, and the other two were the girls in white and red cheongsam that Wu Yu had seen before. Wu Yu was surprised and recalled the incident of the piano music last night. He was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over his body.
Yunyun and the two women were laughing and talking when they saw Wu Yu wake up and smiled at him. Wu Yu felt that their smiles were mysterious and strange, which made him feel uneasy. The two women seemed to whisper something to Yunyun and quietly opened the door and went out.
Yunyun turned around and walked to the bedside. Looking at Wu Yu who looked dazed, she smiled strangely and asked , "What's wrong?"
"What's going on?" Wu Yu hugged Yunyun into his arms. Yunyun could clearly hear Wu Yu's pounding heartbeat.
"This morning, I vaguely heard a woman's laughter outside the door. I quietly opened the door with surprise and saw two girls in cheongsams. I was almost scared to death. The two girls turned around and looked at me. Seeing that I was wearing a red cheongsam, they were so scared that they almost screamed. In panic, we asked each other and found out that they were the granddaughters of the mysterious old man. They came back to visit their grandfather last night, so they lived in the old house."
Wu Yu heard Yunyun's explanation and came to his senses. He remembered what the mysterious old man said before that he had two granddaughters. He suddenly realized it, but he suddenly remembered the piano music , and he couldn't help but feel more confused. Wu Yu looked at Yunyun's red cheongsam seriously while he was confused. He seemed to feel a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know what it was.
"Yu, do you know the names of those two girls just now?" Yunyun said in Wu Yu's ear.
"This...how would I know?"
"This is a bit strange. The girl in the red cheongsam is called Xinluo, and the one in the white cheongsam is called Niao Niao..."
Wu Yu was even more surprised when he heard Yunyun say this. How could it be the same as the legend? If it was the same, there might be some unknown truth hidden in it. When Wu Yu thought about this, he suddenly remembered the red cheongsam ghost he saw that night. It might be Xinluo. He remembered the direction Xinluo went that night, and then thought of the "Xinluo Dance School" and Niao Niao playing the piano there yesterday, and he immediately realized it.
