The name of this story is Suona Welcome.
This story took place in the Henan District of Guangzhou in the 1980s. On the night of October in 1985, the residents near the bridge in Suzhou, Henan went to bed early, and the 31-year-old teacher Wu was still correcting homework until late at night. In fact, Teacher Wu usually sleeps earlier, but at this time of the school season, there are many things to do. Suddenly staying up late at night, Teacher Wu also looks very haggard. After drinking a sip of strong tea to refresh himself, Teacher Wu insists on being sleepy. Trying to get all the work done by twelve o'clock. Done. However, the double eyelid was so heavy that it hurt, and soon the double eyelid began to fight, his head sank, and he couldn't help taking a nap and fell asleep.
But just as he was confused, a strange sound came from outside the window. Mr. Wu was awakened by this strange sound, and when he heard it carefully, it sounded like a suona, which made him a little curious. But he didn't think much about it, he just thought it was some old man nearby who practiced suona, and he continued to work after muttering. But the sound kept coming, which made him really a little irritable when he was rushing to work in the middle of the night. Moreover, Teacher Wu also found that the suona sound seemed to be getting closer and closer, and there were some cluttered footsteps in it. Whether it was the sound of footsteps or the sound of the suona, it was exceptionally clear in the middle of the night, and it really affected others. It would be a lie to say no.
Teacher Wu took a sip of water, then got up and walked towards the window. However, when he opened the window and looked out, he was stunned. I saw that it was foggy outside the window, and in the fog on the street, a group of figures were coming from far and near, and the sound of suona and footsteps was coming from them. In the fog, you can vaguely see that the two people walking in the front are wearing red clothes and blowing suona, but the feeling of these two people is not festive, but very strange. Whether it's playing the suona or walking, it's very sluggish.
The team continued to approach, and the scene in the mist gradually became clear, allowing Teacher Wu to see the people behind. Those people are also all red, carrying a big red sedan chair, like a welcoming team. Teacher Wu looked puzzled when he saw this. At the same time, these people also aroused his curiosity, so he lay on the window and continued to watch the drama. Soon, the team slowly walked to the street outside the window of Teacher Wu's house. At this time, he also saw the faces of these people, and his face suddenly became terrified. Looking around, I saw what kind of living people were in this welcoming team? In the welcoming team, no matter whether it was the suona or the one carrying the sedan chair, everyone had no pupils, their faces were pale, their lips were painted with blood red blush, and they smiled strangely, and the big red sedan chair that was carried was actually empty. of.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Wu couldn't help but let out an exclamation. After reacting, Mr. Wu quickly covered his mouth and nose and hid by the window, but it was still night. This exclamation caught the attention of the welcoming team. The suona sound stopped abruptly. Everyone stopped and turned around stiffly, with a tricky smile still on their faces, and looked towards Teacher Wu's window. . Teacher Wu was so frightened that his whole body was trembling, and he was sweating coldly. Teacher Wu quickly retracted his gaze, leaned tightly against the wall and held his breath, fortunately the suona sounded again after a while. Mr. Wu bravely squinted out the window quietly, and sure enough, the welcoming team had already left. At this time, he let out a long sigh of relief.
But then the welcoming team actually stopped in front of a fire-destroyed attic diagonally opposite their house. Immediately afterwards, the welcoming team faded away in the mist, and finally disappeared completely. Teacher Wu looked at the burned attic diagonally opposite, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and the whole person became nervous again. By the way, the incident that happened in the restaurant diagonally opposite seven days ago shocked the whole of Guangzhou. Although the restaurant was destroyed by fire. But before, it was the Zhulou, a well-known time-honored restaurant in Guangzhou, with a total of three floors up and down.
Seven days ago, a wedding was held on the third floor of this restaurant. The groom's family is rich and has many relatives and friends. On the day of the wedding banquet, the third floor of the restaurant was full of guests. The groom and bride on the stage bowed their hands, and the guests under the stage were lively tasting the dishes of the wedding banquet. But at this moment, there was an anxious shout from the stairs, and then a person rushed up in a panic. The two people in the middle heard the words and looked, and saw that the fire at the entrance of the stairs had spread, and the thick smoke followed. Looking at the red flames flashing outside the window, seeing that the fire was not small, the scene suddenly became a mess. There are more and more people watching on the street outside the restaurant, and the fire in the restaurant is getting bigger and bigger. Some people are carrying buckets and splashing water, but a bucket of water is a drop in the bucket for the entire restaurant on fire.
Because the fire was so big, many people were trapped in the fire. Occasionally, the guests who rushed out were burned by the fire, not to mention how miserable it was. And most of the people were trapped inside, screaming, crying, and screaming together, like a hell on earth. Soon, the entire restaurant was engulfed by flames. When fire trucks came to douse the fire, the entire restaurant was burnt to rubble. This matter spread quickly and once caused a sensation in Guangzhou. After investigation, it was found out that the fire was a generator that caught fire inexplicably, and the whole fire caused great casualties.
Thinking of this, Teacher Wu hid under the covers, trembling uncontrollably. Suddenly, the sound of suona remembered that Teacher Wu was struck by lightning. The welcoming team on the street outside the window moved again, and with the sound of the suona, the welcoming team started to walk back. This time, the sedan chair carried at the back was no longer empty, but a bride sat on it. The light gauze red hijab is also a pale grimace. The welcoming party went further and further along the street, and finally disappeared. It spread quickly the next day. In the whole area of Suzhou Bridge, many people saw the strange welcoming team last night.
