Liu Sanmei said: "If this is the case, it is easy to find something to do, my mother-in-law's family is short of long-term workers to help in the village, I don't know if you want to do it." If you want, you can come over tomorrow, and I will take you back with me, and go to see my man and my father-in-law, and see if they want you. A few days ago, I saw that you really had a lot of strength to pick up water and split wood, and you could read and write words, they should be satisfied. It's just that the salary given may not be too much, but it is certain that you will have food and shelter, and you will also have a place to stay. ”

Yang Xianmao was overjoyed, this was exactly what he wanted, he could follow Liu Sanmei to observe the situation at any time and take action.

At that moment, Yang Xianmao said happily: "Thank you Liu family sister, I will definitely do a good job, then I will come to you early tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Sanmei said: "My mother-in-law's house is in Wangjiazhuang, twenty miles outside the city, I will hire a car to go back tomorrow, you can go with me then." Yang Xianmao immediately agreed, and then then took his leave and left.

Liu Sanmei saw Yang Xianmao leaving, so she closed the door, put on the latch, and stepped into the house. She was the only one in the entire old house, and the people who had been busy at home that day went back to their respective homes.

A few days ago, because someone was helping, and there were neighbors who helped keep the vigil, I didn't feel scared. But now that everyone had left, and she was the only one left, she really felt a little scared in her heart. She wasn't afraid of her brother's ghost coming to him, after all, he was her own brother. What she was afraid of was what the people had said the night before, that this was a murderous house, and since it was a murderous house, would it be haunted?

She didn't dare to go to the kitchen, the blood on the ground was still vivid. The appearance of her brother's neck being cut off was still deeply seared in her mind like a soldering iron.

Liu Sanmei entered her house a little nervously, and quickly closed the door, the house was already lit with a lamp, and she lit the lamp before it was dark. Because the windows of this house are small, as long as it is close to dusk, the room will be very dark.

Liu Sanmei closed the window, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, staring blankly at the oil lamp on the table.

Liu Sanmei originally thought that she would leave today and go back to her in-law's house, but the last group of guests left in the evening today, and she couldn't hire a car when she wanted to leave. If she walked back on two feet, she was afraid that it would be still halfway when it got dark, so she hesitated for a while and decided to stay for one night and go back to her mother-in-law's house the next day. But now that it was almost dark, I suddenly felt scared, and I regretted that I hadn't walked back before, otherwise it would be better to be afraid than to stay alone in this murderous house.

Liu Sanmei didn't dare to go to the kitchen to fetch water to wash, thinking that she would fall asleep early, and it would be dawn when she woke up, and she might be better by then. So she hurriedly undressed, blew out the lamp, and got into the covers.

Because the windows and bed boards were closed, the whole room was dark. She closed her eyes, trying to get herself to sleep early. But it was not yet completely dark, and she had never slept so early before, and she could not sleep for a while, and the more things in her heart, the more difficult it was to sleep.

Liu Sanmei turned around and didn't feel sleepy at all, she wanted to get up and light the lamp and sit for a while, and then fall asleep when she was sleepy. But it occurred to her that the sickle that lit the lamp seemed to be in the kitchen, and when she had lit the oil lamp in the kitchen, she had taken it to the bedroom, and the sickle had not brought it. If you can only get to the kitchen in the dark, find the fire sickle and come back, or take the lamp to the kitchen.

And that place is the place where her second brother was hacked to death by her sister-in-law, and she doesn't feel anything going in and out there these days. And now he is alone in this empty house, and he is still designated as a murderous house by Taoist priests. She really didn't dare to go alone, she would rather lie on the bed in the dark. Anyway, she was sitting with the lamp lit, so Liu Sanmei opened her eyes and wanted to be in a daze for a while.

Liu Sanmei opened her eyes and felt that it was no different from closing them. The room was pitch black, and it was precisely because she opened her eyes that she felt more frightened in her heart. I always felt as if there was something behind me, and even as if someone was lying next to me, staring straight at my back.

Liu Sanmei was frightened by her own feeling, and she felt the hairs on her whole body stand up. She shrank into the quilt little by little, and finally shrunk her whole head into the quilt, although it was tight, but it seemed to have a sense of security.

But she covered her head in the quilt, and she couldn't hold on for long, and she felt very depressed, and she couldn't hold it anymore. Still had the courage to lift the quilt again, and at the moment when the quilt was lifted, there was a sudden bang in the room she heard, as if something had fallen. Then I heard the sound of small footsteps, which scared Liu Sanmei to the core.

Liu Sanmei asked loudly, "Who is it?"

There was no sound answering, the room was still quiet, and the voice just now seemed to have never appeared. So much so that Liu Sanmei was wondering if she was too nervous and had auditory hallucinations, so she quickly covered her head with the quilt again.

After a long time, seeing that everything around him was still safe, he slowly poked his head out of the quilt again. When she listened carefully, she could not hear any more sound, and even the slight noise outside the house had disappeared, and it was already dark, and everyone must have gone home to rest.

It's been three shifts, and there is not even a small insect chirping outside the house.

Liu Sanmei lay quietly in the quilt, covering her head with the quilt, only exposing her nose, closing her eyes tightly, desperately trying to let herself fall asleep. At this moment, she seemed to hear a very subtle brush, brushing sound. It's as if something is coming out of the beam or under the bed and scurrying around. Could it be a mouse? It must have been a rat who knocked something down just now, otherwise the doors and windows of this room would have been tightly closed. Nothing else could get in, except for the all-pervasive thing of rats.

The thought that it might be a mouse made her feel a little relieved. But she soon discovered that the rustling did not seem to go away, or stopped. It's always there, and the rustle is getting louder and louder. By this time, the sound had become the feeling of a stream flowing, and it no longer resembled the footsteps of a mouse.

How can there be a flow of water, and there is no water around this house. Liu Sanmei felt very scared, she didn't know where the voice came from.

Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, could it not be the sound of a ghost floating over her head?

The thought immediately made her feel that she had guessed correctly, for the sound seemed to be the rattle of clothes fluttering back and forth.

At this time, Liu Sanmei began to tremble all over, and she shrunk her head into the quilt as much as possible, only exposing her nose, hoping that this would make her not too afraid. But she soon discovered that it didn't work. Because that sound is in my ears, as if it is under the covers. Could it be that something got into the quilt?

Is it a snake or a scorpion?

Thinking of these two terrible animals, Liu Sanmei even forgot about the fear of ghosts, suddenly lifted the quilt, sat up, and nervously pulled her hands on the bed, but there was nothing on the bed. There were neither snakes nor scorpions, although it was still dark in the house.

Liu Sanmei is now sitting on the bed like this, and the sound has disappeared. Liu Sanmei couldn't help but be happy, maybe it would be better for her to sit like this, so she wrapped the quilt around her body and leaned against the head of the bed.

It was still quiet, and at that moment, a thought came to her mind like a poisonous snake. She felt as if someone was standing behind her, and she leaned back at the head of the bed, staring at her coldly.

Liu Sanmei only felt that the pores of her whole body were all blooming, and the pores of the cold air were pouring hard, and her whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave. She could even feel the person behind her blowing in her ear, making her neck and ears cold. She turned her head boldly, but it was still pitch black behind her, and she couldn't see anything. She asked in a trembling voice, "Who is where?" and is there anyone?", and no one answered.

And in the darkness she felt as if there was a real person standing there, and although she couldn't see anything, she could feel its presence. This made Liu Sanmei frightened, screamed, immediately grabbed the pillow on the bed, and smashed it hard towards the back.

Liu Sanmei forgot that her bed was according to the bed. The pillow slammed against the curtains, bounced back, and landed in her arms, as if someone was going to push her. even scared her so much that she crawled to the end of the bed, shrunk at the end of the bed, and screamed: "Don't hurt me, I'll leave tomorrow, don't hurt me." ”

Liu Sanmei cried out in horror.

She was so scared that she even hoped that the little man who had come to rent the house just now would come back. If he came back now, she would definitely let him stay with her, even if it was in a room, she couldn't take care of it.

But where is the little Langzhong now, and who can help her?

Liu Sanmei was extremely desperate, nesting in the quilt and crying vigorously.

Gradually, she found that she was less scared when she cried. There was no other sound in the room, and even if it was made by itself, the current voice would give me courage. This discovery made her cry even more, until she cried heartbreakingly, her voice was hoarse, and she finally felt less afraid, and then she fell asleep at some point.

In her sleep she had a dream, a terrible nightmare. She dreamed that her husband was in the same room with her, but his familiar face turned into a blank sheet of paper, and then his whole body became a skeleton. He let out a terrible laugh, and then his body floated in mid-air, slowly flying out of the window.

She woke up from the nightmare and sweated profusely.

She heard someone talking outside, a little farther away, but more than one person. Liu Sanmei immediately realized that it should be dawn, and immediately turned her head to look at the window. Bright light filtered in from both sides of the closed window panels, indicating that it was indeed dawn.

She quickly climbed out of bed and opened the window. The dazzling sunlight came in through the window lattice, and when the sunlight spread throughout the room, Liu Sanmei confirmed that she was finally alive, her body was weak, and she sat on the ground.
