If the village used to be quite lively, now the whole village is surprisingly quiet.

Every house turned off the lights early, and there was no light to be seen, not to mention human voices, not even the sound of a dog barking.

It was so quiet, so quiet that I couldn't feel comfortable.

For the sake of my dad's safety, I had to be bold enough to stand guard at the door.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, the old locust tree in front of the house, after the evening breeze blows, the shadow refracted on the ground looks a little terrifying.

I sat stupidly at the doorway, looking at the night all around me, and I felt like there was something hidden inside. Especially the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing the leaves.

I glanced around and felt no movement, then retracted my mind and immediately began to light the candles.

Unexpectedly, the lighter that was good before can't catch fire now.

I pressed it several times, but I could only see a little electric flash, and I couldn't hit anything.

I'm a little anxious, the more anxious I am, the more panicked I am, and the more panicked I get, the more I can't fight.

At this time, I suddenly shivered, and I felt a chill on the back of my neck, as if something was blowing behind my back.

I panicked and kept pressing the lighter.

The breath was getting colder and colder, and my hairs stood on end. The night wind sounded like a scream.

I could clearly feel something behind my back, and for a moment, I broke out in a cold sweat.

I didn't dare to look back, and kept turning the lighter. The chill around me was getting heavier and heavier, and when I felt something touch me, the lighter lit up.

Without the slightest hesitation, I immediately lit the candle.

The moment the candle was lit, the chill dissipated for the most part, and I let out a long breath.

The light of the candle made me feel a little safe. It was like the rest of my life.

However, this situation did not last long, and after a few minutes, I felt that something was not quite right, and a cool breeze poured into my neck, and I shivered from the cold.

The flame of the candle began to beat, flickering on and off.

The flames were accompanied by rapidly dropping temperatures.

Thinking of what Qiao's second mother-in-law said, I immediately grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and scattered it out.

Strange to say, as soon as the glutinous rice was sprinkled, the flames immediately returned to normal, and the temperature quickly rose.

The more this happens, the more panicked I become, because it means that something is really coming.

After sprinkling the glutinous rice, it didn't last long before the flames flickered and dimmed again, and the temperature began to drop.

I sprinkled another handful of glutinous rice, and the situation improved.

This went on and on for a long time, and gradually, I got used to it.

I found that as long as the candle wasn't extinguished, that thing couldn't do anything to me.

And judging from the length of the candle, it should be enough, plus the glutinous rice is also prepared enough, and it is basically not used up.

Thinking about it this way, I am also a lot calmer.

I don't know how long later, I suddenly heard someone calling for help.

"Girl, help...... Baby, come and save me......"

I listened attentively, and my heart was numb, this voice was a little faint and faint, it came from the back of our house, it was the voice of Qiao's second mother-in-law.

The voice sounded panicked, as if it was in danger.

She must have encountered something, after all, she is old and her legs are not good, and it is for our family.

If something really happens, it will be troublesome, and I can't help thinking of Aunt Qinghe.

At that time, I didn't care so much, so I hurriedly ran to the back door of the yard with a candle.

But when I hurriedly went to the back door, I was stunned.

From a distance, I saw Qiao's second mother-in-law standing in the night at the back door with a candle.
