Chapter 28: Ghosts
A lot of strange things have happened in the past few days, although Sun Shiqi's shouting made me feel shocked, but I quickly regained my composure, quickly got up and rushed out of the house, came to Sun Shiqi's house and gently patted the door with my hand.
"Sun Shiqi, are you alright?" I shouted at the door.
There was no movement in the room, only the mother downstairs was shouting, "Knock knock, what's wrong, what was Kiki shouting just now?"
"It's okay, Mom, Sun Shiqi isn't shouting anything?" I shouted downstairs.
"You rest early, and tomorrow Grandpa will take you out for a walk. Mom shouted again.
"Got it. I replied.
"Sun Shiqi, are you okay, I'm in. I slammed on the door as I spoke, twisting the doorknob, the door was unlocked, and I walked softly into the house.
The light in the room was dark, and the faint moonlight could see something on the bed through the curtains, and I turned on the light and saw that Sun Shiqi's clothes and pants were on the ground, Sun Shiqi sat on the bed, wrapped herself in the quilt like a zongzi, and wrapped her head in the quilt.
I gently closed the door, walked to the bed, picked up the clothes and pants on the floor, put them on the bed, patted her quilt, and felt the inside shake, as if my body was trembling a little.
"You're all right, there's a ghost somewhere. "I looked around the room, and there was simple furniture and no scary decorations.
"Why are you so timid, I always thought you were a strong-willed girl, so you can fight and be afraid of ghosts. I said half-jokingly.
Sun Shiqi slowly got her head out of the quilt, her hair was already scattered, her forehead and face were covered by her hair, light or dark, I felt like she was a ghost, a bit like Sadako.
"There's a ghost outside the window. She looked at me with her clear, unadulterated eyes with a look of fear on her face, and then buried her head in the quilt.
Sun Shiqi's bed leaned against the window, the curtains were drawn at night, and nothing could be seen outside, I climbed into bed, went to the window and gently opened a corner of the curtain to look out, there was a bright moonlight in the sky on the mountain not far away, and there were still the lights of several farmers on the mountain.
"Nothing! what do you see?" I turned my head and asked Sun Shiqi suspiciously.
"Eyes. Sun Shiqi leaked her head and looked at me with frightened eyes.
"We are on the fourth floor, and the house next to us is dozens of meters away from our house, no one will peep at you, don't you scare yourself, okay?" I think what happened in the past few days has scared Sun Shiqi's nerves too much, is it hallucinating.
"Really, when I turned off the lights just now, there was a pair of red eyes flashing outside the window, which was terrifying. Sun Shiqi buried her head in the quilt and said.
I opened the curtain again and looked out to see if someone was shaking the light or something hitting the window, I looked left and right for a while, although someone was walking in the distance, but it looked normal.
"Are you sure the eyes you see aren't any lights?" I pushed Sun Shiqi, who was wrapped in the quilt.
"It's the eyes, and I blinked. She said as she bared her head again.
"Then what to do, you can't sit under the quilt all night. I looked at Sun Shiqi helplessly and asked.
"Can you stay with me for a while?" Sun Shiqi looked at me with a begging look.
Seeing this kind of gaze, I remembered the way she came to my house to look for me that day, and I was a little scared.
"Are you alright, your brain won't ......," I asked in a questioning tone.
"No, I'm fine, I'm just a little scared, I'm afraid those eyes will come to me again. Sun Shiqi whispered.
"I'll lie down, will you sit next to me?"
"Okay, I'll be the messenger of the flowers. I laughed at her.
Sun Shiqi slowly lay down, exposed her head outside the quilt, pulled the quilt down with both hands, and looked around with a pair of clear big eyes, as if she was looking for something.
"You look like a concubine in a Qing palace drama waiting for the emperor to be lucky in bed. I joked.
Sun Shiqi looked at me, as if she was about to say something, and swallowed the words back.
"You turn off the lights, don't look at me, you look out the window. Sun Shiqi ordered in a low voice.
I got up and turned off the lights in the room, and sat back next to Sun Shiqi, feeling a little cold, so I put her coat on my body, and the clothes had a faint fragrance.
"I'm a little cold when I borrow your clothes. ”
I looked at the curtains, which were pale blue and somewhat transparent, but I couldn't see anything outside, and I could feel that the moonlight was sometimes obscured by the clouds, flickering and dimming.
"You sleep, I'll keep watch, I'll go when you're asleep." I said to Sun Shiqi.
"Hmm. She whispered in reply, pulling the quilt up again.
I looked at my phone, it was already more than ten o'clock, today I was riding in the car and climbing the mountain, my body was really tired, my sleepiness hit me wave after wave, I felt that I was going to fall asleep.
I really wanted to fall asleep next to Sun Shiqi, but I promised her and couldn't talk and didn't count, I endured the sleepiness, but my eyelids seemed to be pulled by a sleepy bug, and I couldn't open them no matter how I struggled.
Suddenly I felt that something touched my hand, I was startled, sobered up a lot, only to feel Sun Shiqi's cold hand stretched out from the quilt, grabbed my hand, and held it tightly, her strength was getting bigger and bigger, my hands began to hurt, her hand was very strong, I felt that this pain was unbearable.
I twisted to her and was about to say to her, when I suddenly saw that her eyes were exceptionally bright in the night, whether she was asleep or awake, I was a little frightened, and I saw her say to me softly:
"Outside the window. Then he shrank his head into the quilt.
I turned my head to look out of the window, although through the curtains, but I could feel a huge shadow shaking, could it be a cloud, I broke free of Sun Shiqi's hand holding me, climbed to the window on the side of Sun Shiqi's feet, and gently opened the corner of the curtain with my hand, only to see a humanoid shadow floating towards us.
This shadow was as big as a mountain, and it felt like it had a head and arms, "What kind of monster shadow is this!"
I lowered the curtains and didn't want to look at it, is this a fantasy? Whose illusion is so big, would anyone here use it?
The shadow stopped not far from my house, and I sat down on my bed and leaned against the wall by the window.
I watched as the moonlight from the window was gradually obscured by the shadows, and the room grew darker and darker, when suddenly two red bright spots like lanterns began to flicker outside the window.
I could hear Sun Shiqi's rapid breathing, and I covered my mouth, afraid to shout out, "What is this?" I thought to myself.
The two red bright spots sometimes turned, sometimes still, really like two eyes, as if they were looking for something.
The eyes looked into the room for a few minutes, as if they didn't find what they were looking for, and the red bright spots slowly moved in the direction of the third floor.
"It's looking for something. "I thought.
"Oh no, it's not looking for that painting. "Suddenly, I thought about the wooden sword and the painting.
I quickly jumped out of bed in Sun Shiqi's clothes, rushed out of the door and ran to the small incense hall on the third floor, Sun Shiqi didn't know what was wrong with me, and wrapped the quilt tighter.
The third floor is where my parents live, the door is closed, I don't know if they are asleep, I don't care about calling them, I rushed to the door of Xiaoxiangtang, I turned the doorknob hard, but I couldn't open it, the door was locked.
I quickly ran to the second floor, came to my grandparents' room, opened the door, the lights went out in the room, I ran to my grandfather's bed, shook my grandfather's shoulder, grandpa opened his eyes and asked:
"Knock knock, what's the matter, don't sleep yet. ”
"Grandpa, the key to Xiaoxiangtang, there is a thief!" I said nervously.
When the grandfather heard this, he immediately sat up, picked up his pants from the bed, found a bunch of keys in his pocket, and found one to say
"That's it, let's go and see if the painting is still there. ”
I grabbed the key and ran to the third floor as fast as I could, and my grandfather put on his clothes and followed behind.
I opened the door of the small incense hall, turned on the light, and saw that the offering table was empty, and the painting was gone. The window was open, and in the distance I could see the huge shadow moving rapidly, getting farther and farther away from my house.
I stood by the window, the bright moonlight poured into the mountains, a cold wind blew in from the window, and I was full of excitement, and wrapped Sun Shiqi's coat tighter.
Grandpa came up from the second floor, saw the empty offering table, sighed and said:
"First the wooden sword, then the painting, and finally they came. ”
